Earth and Coal Quickly part 2 #497
© March 8, 2007 Joe Burkey, OK to forward intact
also Adar 18, 5767 original calendarI was born in the coal mining part of Southeastern Ohio, went to school there and then in Columbus after we moved, then as an adult moved to the coal mining area of West Virginia for five years. I have been in many mines beginning before my school days when the adults had no idea how far from the farm I walked and what I did. I liked exploring caves and coal mines. There are fossils in some caves and in some mines.
Evolution expects us to believe millions of years were necessary for coal to form so there would be enough time for living things to become fossils in the beds/layers of coal. You learned in message #477 that coal is being made in laboratories in only hours, so it could have happened quickly in nature. If the coal in the earth formed rapidly, then the living things which became the fossils all existed at the same time, not during millions of years as evolution requires.
You can see for yourself evidence of this in coal beds. Fossils of one kind are found in a layer of coal as low (old) as the bottom, then again in another layer in the middle or even the top where the coal is supposedly much newer. It is obvious when you see it that there was some kind of uneven mixing when all of it happened.
Individual fossils occasionally go up and down through layers of coal which evolution says are hundreds of millions of years old. Giant fern leaf fossils are beautiful. It was impossible for one of these fragile things to stand up and continue growing for millions of years while coal was forming around it under great heat and pressure until it was covered up in a standing position with coal. The coal must have formed quickly.
Earth is probably not billions of years old. It is probably 8000 years or 6000 years or even only 4400 years old. The more facts you learn, the more you doubt evolution. "Coal quickly" was and still is possible and facts indicate quickly is how it happened naturally.

BIBLE VERSES ABOUT THIS: (Amplified unless noted):
Genesis 1 "In the beginning." The first words of The Bible goes on to explain how our planet Earth was created quickly.
2 Peter 2 "BUT ALSO [in those days] there arose false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among yourselves, who will subtly and stealthily introduce heretical doctrines (destructive heresies), even denying and disowning the Master Who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
