Mount Everest and Grand Canyon Might Differ by Centuries


The Signs at the Grand Canyon Are WRONG!

1:03 Psalm 103:8* indicates that the mountains rose and next verse that the shorelines were fixed in connection with the Flood ending, but the fact is, you'd agree shorelines were very different in parts of the Ice age, up to centuries after the Flood, but also before King David, so, you cannot fix the rising of the mountains to "same year" by that verse.

I'd say the mountains rose during the Ice age basically immediately following the Flood, but it took some centuries. This is confirmed by Himalaya archaeology, the earliest post-Flood culture found in the Sivali hills are from some century after Babel, which ended 401 after the Flood when Peleg was born.**

6:18 Even if your research proved most layers of the Himalayas were bent (those that are bent) during the weeks after the Flood (I tend to think of those weeks as ground solidifying extra rapidly around the Ark, and it took longer elsewhere), that doesn't mean the actual height of the Himalayas was reached as quickly.

What I said about the Sivali [Siwalik] hills suggests that the ground was still unstable the first few centuries after the Flood, and I take that as indicating a rapid rise in the mountain, still ongoing some centuries after the Flood. But I also think the Himalayas are metamorphic rock (according to the quickest check I get, I'm right) and I think part of the heat was God's way of getting surrounding mud dried quicker. Including by making rivers rise in the higher mountains and once arriving down, draining the landscape by creating a river basin.

The Pyrenees also seems to be unstable to get up in to centuries after the Flood.***

* The video say 104:8, Catholic and Protestant Bibles number and at some places divide the psalms differently, though there are 150 of them either version.
** Siwalik, more precisely Patu industry in Nepal: Himalayas, bis ... and Pyrenees
*** While mentioning them in the Himalayas series, I added a more indepth research on it on this post: Fr. Robinson Attacking Biblical Chronology (But Not Special Creation of Man)
