Greg Morgan, a nuclear safety engineer at Hanford, said he was amazed to see sandstone resembling waves, whirlpools and reversing currents that appear to have been frozen in place.
Morgan's photographs of The Wave and his article, "Flood Currents Frozen in Stone," are in the latest issue of Answers magazine, a quarterly publication of Answers in Genesis, a Christian creation research organization based in Petersburg, Ky. The nonprofit organization's 70,000-square-foot facility also houses the Creation Museum.
Mike Matthews, editor of Answers, said the way the layers of sandstone came to rest at Paria Canyon in Arizona "fits with the viewpoint that these are flood layers."
But the strongest evidence of a global flood is in the sandstone itself, he said.
"It's that the layers themselves have been traced out worldwide, even to Europe and the Mideast," Mathews said. ...
Morgan, who became a Christian as an adult and takes the Bible literally, said the convoluted formations at Paria Canyon forced him to consider there must be another explanation.
"There are no broken rocks. All of this happened when it was still mud," Morgan said.
Morgan first visited The Wave at Paria Canyon in 2008 and again in September, each time taking many photographs he later could study.
The whirlpools suggest the stone was flowing, as if it was a slurry of sand that suddenly froze in place, he said.
"This is excellent evidence for Noah's flood. It is far better than what anyone believes for an ancient Earth," Morgan said.
The formation itself is classified as Jurassic Navajo Sandstone, and according to conventional "old Earth" geology, was formed 200 million years ago when seasonal winds laid down the layers to create the dramatic land forms.
"Any over-ritualized religion since the dawn of time can make its priests say yes, we know, it is rotten, and hard luck, but just do as we say, keep at the ritual, stick it out, give us your money and you'll end up with the angels in heaven for evermore."

(Groan) Morgan should stick to his area of expertise. I'm happy to go along with the real geologists that this formation is 200 million years old and the result of windblown sand dunes.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

I swear the creationist museum people have said that the six-inch serrated teeth on Tyrannosaurus were for eating coconuts. I am going to find where I saw that.

Maybe if you write something up, you could get it published in the Deseret News.
Maybe the dinosaurs just didn't make it on the ark.

Did Deserted News get rid of all the proof readers or something?
