Experimental evidence for very long term processes

Equating the erosion process driving canyon formation with the selection process putatively driving complex adaptations is like comparing apples and oranges.

Yes, true. But the timescales involved, and the a priori improbability of the particular outcome we see before us is what is relevant here. Of all the ways a body of water and erosion could shape a landscape, we end up with the exact particular structure we call The Grand Canyon. What are the odds?

Not sure to understand your point here, but it seems to me that you’re making the Texas sharpshooter fallacy.
