Grand Canyon Offers Biblical Perspective Tour
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
One of the worlds biggest tourist attractions is offering a Biblical perspective tour on how it was formed.
The Grand Canyon recently celebrated it “100th birthday” on February 26. In honor of its “birthday”, Liftablehighlighted Canyon Ministries as the “the only tour company at the Grand Canyon that provides guided tours from a biblical standpoint.”
The Christian tour group teaches about the creation of the Grand Canyon from a Biblical perspective, rather than a secular viewpoint. As opposed to believing that the Grand Canyon was formed over millions of years, the group teaches the story of Creation.
“We believe the account of origins presented in Genesis occurred in the span of six consecutive twenty-four hour days six to ten thousand years ago.
“We believe the great flood of Genesis was an actual historic, global, catastrophic event in its extent and effect. It is this flood that is responsible for the deposition, formation, and subsequent sculpturing of much of the earth’s geologic record as we know it today.”
Director of Rim Tour Operations at Canyon Ministries Nate Looper explains to Liftable their viewpoint on how the Canyon was created, “We also believe there was a global flood as the Bible later describes. This flood was the primary mechanism for the worldwide distribution of water-laid sedimentary rock layers, along with the massive death and burial scientists call the fossil record.”
“As these trapped waters continued to fill the Colorado Plateau from melting glacial ice, streams, and rivers, this water breached through the southwestern side of the bowl, and catastrophic exponential drainage of the breached dam created a large crack or ‘drainage ditch’ we now see as the Grand Canyon.”
While the tour group is dedicating to spreading the Biblical teachings of Creation, they have a higher overall goal.
“We are a team committed to Christ, and enthusiastic about sharing the gospel through the biblical message of the Grand Canyon to all who will listen.”

It's beauty is unsurpassed...I've visited many times and each and every time is a wonder to behold.
If you going to visit I would recommend a couple of things.
There are six natives tribes that live in and around the canyon. Take the time to visit and really learn of the ancient times. Natives American have lived IN the canyon for over 4,000 years. The Hualapai and Havasupai currently live IN the canyon itself.
Stop by the Sky Walk at Eagle Point for those of you with some real daring it's the place to go.
The next time I go it WILL be to the Havasupai campground. I just have to get there while I can still make the hike...

Come on, anyone who chooses ignorance, and listen to our lies about proven geology!
The Noah myth was plagiarized from Gilgamesh, an ancient Sumerian legend which started out about a river flood, and was later embellished as an entire earth flood. But I'm sure the idiots in this group, such as Nate Looper, won't let themselves read Gilgamesh, because they couldn't handle the similarities.
Photos of the Sky Walk at Eagle Point....Glass bottom and it's 4,000 feet straight down....LOL
Can you hear me screaming NO! from where you are Kavika?
You're coming in loud and clear, Dulay...LOLOLOL
Oh my....just looking at that puts my Vertigo into high gear.
And I have been to Grand Canyon, when I was 7 years old. At that age I would hang over the rail to look down as far as I could.
Too bad we have to grow up.
I don't think I could walk on that thing.
I would try it
I think the helicopter tour is safer, lol.
Only with a lot of sedation. LOL!
Helicopter rides are pretty cool. I've been in 2 of them
Doors open?
negative
but 2 of my uncles did
Lol yep and then rappelled to the ground when it stopped
I like a good laugh maybe I'll take that tour one of these days, the Ark Encounter was certainly worth the money
The Ark was worth it to Ken Hamm. He certainly fleeced the gullible and/or ignorant to build it.
Like what: scamming people, playing on or to their ignorance, promoting ignorance and misinformation? Hardly a great thing. Unless one is a con man.
It just kills me that some will blindly accept biblical nonsense from the likes of Ken Ham and then deny the findings of science. With all the info available today! Faith disables critical thinking.
Tell me about. I just cannot comprehend such a mentality.
Along with promoting willful ignorance.
I think Britain should get in on this. They could have tours of their old decaying castles and call them "Harry Potter" tours where they walk around and point out damage done during the battle between the death eaters and the ministry of magic.
Brilliant, it's as factual and certainly sounds more fun than religion.
Actually, those castles are amazing as are the Roman ruins across Europe. But those French cave paintings really blew me away. Seeing the art work of early man, is just amazing.
Would have loved to see those but never had the opportunity when I was there. You are absolutely correct about the rest, when I lived in Germany the little town just down the road from me still had remnants of the old city wall that surrounding it dating from 1200yrs ago. Just amazing
And not only that but it's easier to explain with fewer contradictions. You don't have to try and contort logic to explain how a supposed global flood organized dinosaurs in each layer of sediment so that you wouldn't have the Precambrian species above the Jurassic or Triassic species and that they aren't just all mixed up in a single sedimentary level as one would expect after a global flood. With Harry Potter you can just swish and flick and "poof" the answer is always "magic!" though YEC's basically do the same thing, just without the swish and flick. They use "kneel and pray" as their magic activator.
I hear the Christian Grand Canyon tour includes dinosaur rides.
