This, Baumgardner says, was the flood on which Noah sailed, the water covering the mountains and destroying "every living substance . . . which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle." Then, after 150 days (Genesis 7:24), the bubble retreated with equal speed into the Earth, and the continents began re-emerging above the water, sending the runoff back to the oceans at around 100 miles an hour. (A very fast river with a huge erosion capacity runs at only about 10 miles an hour.)
Baumgardner says that this runoff would have been sufficient to create the Grand Canyon and other massive geologic features and to deposit the various sedimentary layers in about one week. The science Baumgardner uses to account for these extraordinary happenings is a sort of niche physics called runaway subduction.
Looks to me like he's claiming that the flood carved the Grand Canyon. I'm not sure how the flood would carve the Grand Canyon at the same time as it was creating the layers from which it was carved though.
Wow! Intentional misinterpretation. It would be deceitful for me to pretend you've bamboozled me with this, so I won't.
Someone probably will. But for the honest folk, do you care to have another try at naming a creation scientist who believes in your straw man? Your track record's pretty dismal; shouldn't be too hard for you to improve on it.

For example, you appear to have ignored all the evidence presented here for when the Grand Canyon actually was formed. Did you read about cosmogenic dating? It's a way we can tell how long rock or ice has been exposed to the sun's rays. It's one way we know that most parts of the Grand Canyon were eroded millions of years ago.
There are several methods of generating evodates. They do what they were intended to do: they generate a range of evodates. What's so impressive about that?
You forget that things need to be verified and reconciled. One can do neither with evodates, so they're of no practical use when investigating history.
