I was there one time.  To me, seeing that one can't deny God made it.  No words can explain that grand view - it is overwhelming.

I've only been there once. I hiked across, with my sister and BIL. We slept at the bottom the first day. Slept half way up. And out the third day. Then we flew back across in a Cessna right at sunset. The view flying low in that small plane was wonderful. Some campers had lost a dog a couple of weeks before and was found. He flew back with us. When we got to the airport at the South side, the airline wanted to charge for the dog. I told them the dog rode in my lap and didn't occupy a seat so there was no charge.

I agree wholeheartedly.  The best photos in Arizona Highways can't do it justice.

One has to be there to appreciate it.  I can imagine the thoughts and feelings of the first Spanish to encounter it.

Rim-to-rim is one heckuva hike.  Kudos!

Somewhere, unless I lost it I have a radioactive anti-static brush for cleaning albums.

Oh, and I have a bunch of radioactive rocks from my dad. He had a display of fluorescent rocks.
Hmmmmm. I have a surface bit box full of rocks from Nevada in my office, but never checked them for radiation...  :shrug: (Fluorescent rocks aren't necessarily radioactive, they just get excited at the right wavelengths).

Absolutely @Victoria33 .

And no offense to the evolutionists on this board, but I fall on the floor laughing every time I think that they think that itty bitty river made all that beauty.

Well, the water had a couple million years head stat on us.  That said, one cannot deny God's face written in those stones.

True. I just know my uranium ore is fluorescent.

If it's Uranium ore, it's hot, whether it is fluorescent or not. Some is both.

Follow the money.

There's a law firm somewhere that is going to be advertising at 3AM on the History and Discovery channels for anybody with symptoms of exposure to radiation.

"Billions have been set aside..... call today"

And I'll bet is an Obama/Clinton related firm in some way.

No argument there.

But all the billions of years that can be concocted can't come up with the beauty and grandeur of the Canyon he put there for our pleasure.

Musiclady, yes, this is offensive.  If you want to believe it, that's fine.  Don't throw shade at me for believing that God used His usual methods.

Offensive??  Stating what I believe is offensive??

You can believe what you want, but don't throw shade at me for not believing what you believe.

See??  Your "offense" can go both ways.



btw, I learned a long, long time ago not to die on this hill.  If you want to end a friendship or get mad for the things that have offended you in the past few days, go for it.

But I'm not playing this game.

Nope, stating what you believe is not offensive.

However, being contemptuous towards others can be:

Well, by the numbers, it is technically stupid. That river would have had to flow uphill for centuries. Check it out.

Does that take into account continental uplift?  There's evidence of a major uplift, couple hundred miles to the south...Mogollan Rim.

Go study it.
And while you are at it. explain to me how there is no erosive demarcation between layers. The layers are laid down in pristine fashion, one after the other, with no erosion between them...
