Summary: It is a "different view," just as advertised.
Comment: Tom has compiled a delightful book replete with exquisite Canyon images. Yes, it has Biblical scriptures and religious speech; yes it has scientific content, and yes, there is dispute about whether it offers "good" or "bad" science. The basic premise is that the Canyon was formed in a short period of time from a catastrophic flood, rather than over the ages via a wandering rivulet. And yes, that is a "creationist" view. But the scientists who cry "bad!, bad!, ban that book!" are playing censor a bit prematurely, particularly in light of the half-century controversy over the "scablands" in eastern Washington. In that instance, a renegade scientist proposed that a huge eroded region resulted from a single, catastrophic flood, only to be insulted and excluded from the "good" science community. But he persevered, and fifty years later was vindicated by high honors and general scientific acceptance of his theory. Frankly, the complainers' position is a perilous one--even arch evolutionists like Stephen Jay Gould have largely dismissed classic evolution in favor of catastrophic change theories. For the scientists to blindly endorse their secular orthodoxy is as silly as a person thoughtlessly endorsing theology. All Tom asks is that readers look at the Canyon from a different view, and see what they see..... And hey, if you want to experiment a little, go find a broad, muddy ditch, build a dirt dam and see what happens when it washes away--chances are that you'll see a muddy miniature Canyon. Gee, maybe Tom has a point after all?

Summary: Grand Canyon is the result of catastrophic processes.
Comment: Could the Grand Canyon have been formed through the action of astronomical quantities of water? The authors of this book have dished out some rather weighty evidence which deserves to be understood rather than censored. Did you know that on the north side of Mount St. Helens there is a particularly deep canyon which was carved out within just nine hours on March 19, 1982? The horizontal layering effect which occured there is much the same as what is seen at the Grand Canyon, and this in itself is strong evidence supporting the idea that catastrophic processes can stack together horizontal sedimentary layers. There is conclusive evidence that every layer at the Grand Canyon was formed under water, and this shows that a multi-phase Flood could well have been the responsible agent for what we now know to be the Grand Canyon. If you've not heard this side of the story before, you should definitely invest in this intriguing book which provides a large amount of evidence demonstrating that the Grand Canyon is the product of catastrophic processes within a relatively short period of time. We all have the same data to look at-- and what a view it is! The interpretation of that data brings one to an understanding of what was behind the building up of the geological column. Could it be that the present-day geologists' interpretation that "the present is the key to the past" might be missing something quite significant? At least consider looking at ALL the evidence before writing off the ideas of those who hold a different view.

Summary: Bogus Science!
Comment: The beautiful color photos in this slick book hide bogus science. This is a religious tract, pushing one view of Creation, hiding as science. The so-called geology in this tract does not stand up to peer review --- thus the self publishing. As geology this is a fraud --- it belongs with books on religion.
