Agreed with the first part of the answer but the timeline is much, much sooner. If you are a creationist, thousands of years ago; if a geologist then about 6 million years ago. As for why? Go stand there and look across 20 miles of Earth. Otherwise, not enough space here for an answer.
The Grand Canyon? God made it through water and wind erosion over a couple billion years.
