You & RAZD created that straw man; why should anyone else back it up? Especially when it's such a healthy individual! You're lucky he lacks offensive capacity, that's what I think. Judging by his endurance and skill, you guys'd be in a world of trouble.


Kent Hovind stated that the lakes were formed by the flood. He goes on to say that the sudden overflow of those lakes toward the lower land in the southwest caused the rapid erosion of the Grand Canyon. If there were no global flood then, according to Hovind's proposition, the lakes wouldn't exist. Therefore, the rapid erosion could not have occurred and the Grand Canyon wouldn't be there.

Saying the Grand Canyon is a result of the Global Flood is not a strawman.
Take a look at your nested LL quote. "Carved by a global flood" is clearly a strawman. Thanks for your contribution to making it abundantly clear.
