Geologist believes Grand Canyon was caused by Noahs flood so hes suing the Park Service to prove

[icymist]

34. More on this guy:

According to the complaint and his online biography, Snelling obtained a doctoral degree in geology from the University of Sydney in 1982 and began his career by studying the Koongarra uranium deposit in Australia's Northern Territory. He spent time in exploration and mining industries before becoming involved with organizations that espouse creationism, rather than evolution.

From 1998 to 2007, Snelling was a geology expert at the Creation Science Foundation and has since worked for Kentucky-based Answers in Genesis, an organization that investigates geology "from a Biblical perspective."

He's also been an interpreter on more than 30 river trips in the Grand Canyon, which has been a central area of study for creationist geologists.

The complaint describes Snelling as "primarily focused on investigating geological phenomena from the perspective of one who believes in the truth of the Old and the New Testaments."

In 2013, Snelling applied for a permit to study the folding of Paleozoic sedimentary structures at four locations within the Grand Canyon. He wanted to collect 60 fist-sized rocks from the sites.
