A privately owned National Heritage
Site, Chimney Rock Park encompasses 1000 acres, including rock formation seen here
with a 360 degree view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Take the day to experience Chimney
Rock and its surrounding wonders, Hickory Nut Falls, which cascades 404 feet down at steep
granite cliff, and Inspirations Point. Decend straight down the 176 steps of the Needles
Eye and view the unique rock formation balanced on a ledge of the mountain .
Below you will find the account of what creationists like myself
believe happened to cause these rock formations, although we do not believe any rock is
millions of years old, these formations are still very unique and show the majestic work
of an awesome GOD. |
| The Bible teaches that: God created the universe
approximately 6000 years ago, ex nihilo (out of nothing) in six literal, twenty-four hour
days. Then, approximately 4400 years ago, the earth was destroyed by a worldwide Flood.
This devastating, year-long Flood was responsible for the sediment layers being deposited
(the water was going and returning, Gen. 8:3-5). As the mountains rose and the ocean
basins sank after the Flood (Psalm 104:5-8, Gen. 8:1), the waters rushed off the rising
mountains into the new ocean basins. This rapid-erosion through still-soft, unprotected
sediments formed the topography we still see today, in places like the Chimney Rock and
the Grand Canyon. The uniformitarian assumption—that today’s slow erosion rates
that take place through solid rock are the same as has always been—is faulty logic,
and ignores catastrophes like the Flood. (2 Pet. 3:3-8 says that the scoffers are
"willingly ignorant" of the Flood.)
