The formation in Virginia called Natural Bridge has been a popular tourist destination in the United States for more than 200 years.1 A small stream, Cedar Creek, flows beneath the arch. A nearby sign gives some of the arch’s vital statistics including its height, length and weight. These facts are easy to check: just compare its size with someone standing underneath.
The sign also says the arch is “estimated to be at least 500 million years old.”2 Unlike its dimensions, it is impossible to check this age because no-one was there when the arch was carved. It was geologists who deny the biblical account of Noah’s Flood who formulated these ages.

Other geologists do believe in Noah’s Flood, and consider that Natural Bridge formed during this event.3 As the floodwaters were rising on the earth, strong currents deposited the limestone sediment in thin layers across the region. These layers can be seen in the arch and side walls.
