God is eternal - He has always existed, so why is it such a shock to them if something was created 5 million years ago, 17 millions years ago, or 85 million years ago? God created the world, right? So what is the problem? God created science. The science vs. religious debate is so silly. Does anybody really care when the Grand Canyon was created? It's there - ENJOY GOD'S BEAUTY. :-) I don't see why there would be Christians who have a problem with this.

I would think their role should be to help the public understand.Lady - You're right about seeing different things. It goes to show how much of what we "see" is based on what we believe. We see what we expect to see, and filter/interpret everything through our own beliefs. Sara -

What an interesting post. I really want to go. Reading your post makes me want to go even more though. It is amazing how two people can look at the same thing and each see something different. Wow!

They say in the article their theory is it started due to slow erosion, but without a river, it's not clear what would have caused the erosion. Angela - good question.

My bet is on the biblical explanation. It's kind of like "which came first, the chicken or the egg". My bet is on the biblical explanation.

I've always like the theory that it was the same geologic event that killed the dinosaurs but (if I'm remember my prehistoric history and I might not be) I think that the new theory pre-dates that.
