Why would fossils found at the top of a canyon probably be younger than those found at the bottom of the canyon?
The fossils found at the top of a canyon will probably be younger than those at the of the bottom of the canyon because the fossils at the bottom of the canyon would have been there earlier when the so called "canyon" was once a flat land, so as time went by, the flat land began growing and getting taller and finally became a canyon so the fossils at the top of the canyon WOULD be younger than those at the bottom because the bottom fossils were there before the top of the canton even existed.

Why is all the Grand Canyon lodging found at the top of the canyon?
There are two reasons why the lodging to the Grand Canyon is found at the top. First and foremost, it is logistically more convenient as more tourists visit the top than the bottom. Additionally, in the summer months, the bottom of the canyon can be much more warm in temperature, which could be dangerous for employees and/or lodgers.
Where was the material eroded from the grand canyon deposited?
The material eroded from the Grand Canyon was deposited on a plain. Over many years, water eroded the plain creating a canyon later known as the Grand Canyon. The water kept weathering down the rocks until it came down to a lower level way below the top of the Grand Canyon. That is why today we have a higher and lower part of the Grand Canyon. Overall, the Grand Canyon started out as a plain and as many years passed water weathered down the rocks.

What does the evidence found in places such as the Grand Canyon tell about Creation?
The fossils, geologic layers, and patterns of erosion found in the Grand Canyon indicate that a massive flood created the geological structure, not the billions of years claimed for uniformitarianism, with erosions and layering the strata. The theory of uniformitarianism is constantly being challenged and now being questioned, even by evolutionary scientists, because of the evidence being discovered today. The discovery also of such things as Saturn's rings evidencing a relatively young planet, makes the Biblical account of Creation much more viable in the scientific community, eliminating the possibility of billions of years for evolution's underlying uniformity theory.
