That is what one would call a loaded question.
Leave it to Hemant Mahta to get some answers,,,
Claire Stout, who has a degree in Environmental Science, explained it this way:
This video clearly depicts that the water washed away topsoil, not the bedrock. It is also a very sandy topsoil. Sandy soil is one of the most unstable soils available. This is not erosion; it is a washout.

Chris Peterson, a research associate at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, told me that Hovind was really comparing apples and oranges because the geologic environments were so different:
The erosion shown in this video resulted from several feet of sediment being washed away. Pensacola lies on the Citronelle Formation which consists of unconsolidated gravel and sand… In other words, there’s no rock.
Two things to notice. Both use the terminology "washed away" and both distinguish the "sandy" sediment/topsoil from "rock." And last I knew, the Grand Canyon is not made of sand it is made of mainly "limestone, shale, schist, granite, and sandstone." Also, a "washout" was not the same as erosion.
Can't wait to see if and what Hovind replies in regards to his out right lies. (Hemant was being nice and says "misinformation." I'm not always a friendly atheist.)
