Pancakes and Corvids at Canyonlands National Park

Posted by -

In southeastern Utah is a nice spread of 337,598 acres called Canyonlands National Park, hosting canyons (obviously), spires, and buttes. Conventional uniformitarian geology says that rivers carved the canyons of millions of Darwin years. Evidence is against Grand Canyon being carved by the Colorado River, and similar logic applies here.

Secularists evosplain that the pancake-like layers that are seen were made by a series of deserts over vast amounts of time. However, deserts today do not act like those supposedly did in the distant unobserved past.

Conventional geologists evosplain that sand and millions of years formed the layers of Canyonlands National Park. The Genesis Flood best explains observed evidence.

There are thousands of canyons on this here planet Earth. Biblical creationists see a great deal of evidence not only against the conventional views, but in favor of the Genesis Flood in Grand Canyon and at Canyonlands. Were any of the other canyons made slowly? Mayhaps some, but most had to be done by a lot of water in a little bit of time, not a little bit of water over millions of years.
When you pull into one of the park’s parking lots, a raven may warn its faraway friends about you with its rattle-like, long-distance call. The various species of ravens and crows belong to one genus: Corvus. Scientists refer to these birds in the family Corvidae, along with other relatives including jays, magpies, rooks, and jackdaws, as corvids. All of today’s corvids likely descended from the seven pairs of this particular kind on board Noah’s Ark (Genesis 7:3).

These aren’t the kind of pancakes we can eat! Canyonlands National Park has outcrops of the Navajo Sandstone, a rock formation that contains multiple layers, each one like a colossal pancake. Many of these layers preserve cross-beds. This refers to tilted layering within a flat bed. What caused the sand to get deposited at angles instead of horizontally? Even more mysteriously, what led to each layer’s flat top and the next cross-bedded layer getting stacked atop the one below?
