Arizona’s Grand Canyon, with its vivid rock layers and the copper-colored Colorado River meandering through it, is one of the world’s wonders. This magnificent monument preserves a record of Earth’s history. In this Seeking Understanding episode, we will explore some of the preserved evidence and also the fascinating life and research of Dr. Ariel Roth.
The Bible begins with two chapters about creation, an event referred to throughout the rest of Scripture. After creation, three chapters describe a global catastrophe, the flood. Is there any evidence of these events in the Grand Canyon? Would we really expect to see millions of years produce its remarkably flat layers? Or are these better explained by a single global water catastrophe? What about other evidence?
Dr. Roth–a widely published zoologist and Bible-believer–has spent a lifetime engaged in the creation-evolution controversy. What has he learned that convinces him that God exists as the great designer of nature, and that both the Bible and Grand Canyon are telling the same story?
“If you’re looking for truth, you don’t want to limit your horizon. You want to have as many possibilities [as you can to consider]. So, in case one of them is true, you find it.” — Ariel Roth, Ph.D. Watch the entire video to see what possibilities Dr. Roth has found to be true about God’s magnificent creation, the process of science and the history of the Grand Canyon.
