    Wouldn’t the existence of anything which formed over 80 million years directly contradict every creationist theory from established religious texts? I can’t imagine seeing the layer of 270 Million year old Limestone and thinking “How wild that God made this 5,000 years ago with such sophistication” like that’s just asinine.

      Lol my thoughts exactly… I’ve also been, it’s literally a testament to geological change over time and rich in archeological significance from the natives that once lived there.

      Also having been to many national parks it’s not even the most impressive imo, even in the area. I thought Bryce Canyon was cooler 🤷‍♂️

      They think it was carved from the earth by sky daddy and his flying elves and just made to look like it was millions of years old because they like to confuse people and self-sabotage apparently.
