LeMasters write: "Science is not democratic... that is, evidence does not rest on a majority vote. Rather, one follows the evidence where it leads.." LeMaster needs to practice what he preaches. Given the intense effort he is making to use weathering rate data that are obviously unrelated to the type of limestone and processes involved in the weathering of the Sphinx, qby Paul H. - Ancient History
Gerd wrote: "again, I don't get the comparison... it must be me..." The reason that you don't get it is because there isn't any comparison. The lack of comparisaon between erosion caused by the Mississippi River and the processes causing the erosion of the Sphinx are so completely different as to be laughably mindless. I would call it the "Meaningless Miby Paul H. - Ancient History
Steve LeMaster wrote: "Geologist have calculated that the Grand Canyon is 6 million years old. Due to the fact that it is 6,000 feet deep from its deepest point, this indicates for every one million years the rock erodes 1,000 feet. So, for every year over the past 6 million years, the Colorado River has eroded the bedrock .001 feet, or .12 inches per year. Using the Granby Paul H. - Ancient History
