Meanwhile, in the waiting room, Papaia and Ravioli are talking about a book Banani found, on the geological evidence of Noah’s flood.
RAVIOLI
What else does it say?
PAPAIA
Here it talks about bent rocks.
RAVIOLI
Bent? But rocks don’t usually bend.
PAPAIA
You’re right. Rocks break because they’re hard and brittle. However, in many places we find entire sequences of rock layers that have been bent without fracturing.
RAVIOLI
How is that possible?
PAPAIA
All the rock layers were deposited rapidly and bent while they were still moist and pliable, before they fully hardened. That’s the explanation.
RAVIOLI
Ah, I see! Does the book give any examples?
PAPAIA
We’ve got the Tapeats Sandstone in the Grand Canyon—it’s bent at a right angle (90°) with no signs of breaking. Yet this bending could’ve only happened after all the other layers were already in place.
RAVIOLI
In theory, that would’ve taken “480 million years,” with the Tapeats Sandstone staying moist and moldable all that time.
PAPAIA
Yeah… I really doubt that’s the case!
IGOR
Some rocks in the Grand Canyon are bent. Just like Ravioli in after-school detention when he was punished for refusing to eat fish. “He bends, but he doesn’t break!” 🤣🤣🤣
