Happy Creation Incident from Jim Clarke

I had an exciting experience today and I thought I’d share it with you. Terri and I were at the Grand Canyon this weekend just visiting and enjoying a weekend away from Phoenix. This morning we were preparing to return to Phoenix when we saw this group of Asian visitors standing on the rim behind Bright Angel Lodge. There was a gentleman apparently teaching about the formation of the Grand Canyon. He was speaking in an Asian language (turned out to be Korean) and I couldn’t understand a word he was saying. However, he was drawing pictures on a whiteboard and it didn’t appear to be the uniformitarian explanation. He was talking about the breached dam theory, cross bedding, and sapping. At one point in his lecture he pointed to heaven and I thought I heard him say creation. At that point I realized he was teaching the formation of the Grand Canyon from a young earth creationist perspective.

After he finished his talk, I went up and spoke to him. He told me he was a geologist and I told him I was one also. We then started talking about the formation of the Grand Canyon and he mentioned a recent conference that was focused on the formation of the Grand Canyon. He said that the conclusion was that the Grand Canyon formed catastrophically and not slowly over millions or billions of years. At that point I knew for sure that we were on the same side and I told him I was also a creationist geologist.

The gentleman’s name is Jaeman Lee and he was leading a creation tour of Korean believers to the Grand Canyon. He attended ICR and knew several people that I know, including you Frank. We didn’t discuss your use of one liners. He met Bill Hoesch a few months ago and has developed a friendship with him. He said that he’s done about 30 trips to the Grand Canyon and that I was the first creationist geologist that he had met there. I gave him my card and we swapped information. I might be able to join him on a future trip because most 2nd generation Koreans don’t speak Korean and he was looking for an English speaking geologist to help out.

In closing, even though I couldn’t understand the language Jaeman was speaking, it was clear to me that he was teaching the truth of God’s Word and that’s why I stayed there and listened. The truth of the Grand Canyon speaks in several languages. In Christ, Jim Clarke, Resident Geologist AzOSA Сlick HERE for photo.
