How The Canyon Was Cut

Rivers Cannot Flow Uphill!

Another problem with this theory, is that the river channel would have had to flow uphill to cut through the 5,000-foot mountain range of sediments to carve the canyon!

A professional, and even closer look makes it clear that this theory is not good science at all based on evidence and observation. To believe this theory would be purposeful blind faith. But most scientists no longer teach this idea.

Rivers never change their flow course, never travel uphill, and always wind around mountains never running through them.

All of this is what every scientist observes, and these are basic principles in Geology.

        The melting water would follow its natural path to the lowest lying areas, or places in between hills and mountains where it would sit and create huge bodies of water! (like lakes and inland seas.)

         These large deposits of water would sit and there is a lot of evidence that points to large inland seas in the Colorado Plateau: the area behind the Kaibab Upwarp.

         Computer models show how the water would react in the geologic locations and scientists now suggest that large inland seas could have been about 3 times larger than like Michigan! The inland sea shows signs of covering approximately 30,000 square miles as the Colorado Plateau stretches across from Arizona, all the way into the northern states of Utah and Colorado!

        If the basin holding all of this water were to give way, the erosion would be fast and furious! The rushing water would cut canyons in its path in a timely destructive way.

        This mighty rush of water would not take thousands of years to cut canyons! This could happen very rapidly, and other Geologic events have shown this to be a more plausible explanation.

            A Double-minded river?

        The Bible talks about out of the same spring cannot come bitter and sweet water, or salt water and freshwater.

        In this way, James the disciple wrote about the tongue and how it is a little member and that we should be really careful not to let cursing and blessing come from the same source: our mouths!

        James used nature to show us that if we are God’s, we are not naturally meant to be sweet and then hateful (bitter) or double-tongued. If we really love God, then we will not be saying sweet things one minute and bad and terrible things the next!

            Just like a river cannot flow in two different directions, our mouths should not be used for evil and good but rather for good only.

            His challenge was, does the same fountain of water give you bitter then sweet water at the same time? And that no fountain of water can give you both salt water and freshwater. It is either one way or another way.

            When we use our mouths in the wrong ways, then we go around saying good things, it gives a very confused message to others. It tells them we are not obeying God by being kind, and gentle. We are letting the devil cause confusion and hurt to other people.

            Just like the impossible theory of a river forking into another river and the flow direction is against one another, James wants us to know we cannot be blessing or praising God one minute and being mean to others at the same time and it be right.

            Let’s be very careful to let God use our mouth for good things! If we really love God and think highly of him, it will show in our love and treatment to others.
