This fourth of a five part, closer look at what most of us have been taught about coal and how it developed, continues to challenge the idea that coal developed in freshwater swamps over millions of years.

So far we’ve reviewed seven observable facts that demonstrate that coal contains marine plants and animals and so should not be theorized to have been generated from freshwater swamps; that coal beds are often impaled by tree trucks oriented in all directions and so should not be believed to have layered over long time periods; that the beds and the trees and roots within them often contain materials that are foreign to the areas where the coal beds are found. Something sudden and energetic, violent, not slow and calm, seems to be associated with coal beds. Also, we saw evidences that these beds are often too vast to be credible swamp floors, and that many coal beds found today are without soils beneath them, necessary to the swamp theory...Jack

We have been looking at the theories proposed for the origin of coal, and noting reasons for preferring the flood theory above the more commonly known swamp theory. The three reasons discussed last time; many plants found in coal are not swamp plants, trees found in coal beds sometimes contain energetically transported foreign material, and fossils of salt-water life is often found in coal, all seem to contradict the millions-of-years, slow layering, fresh-water swamp theory.

Now, a fourth observation supporting the flood theory: upright tree trunks penetrating tens of feet, perpendicular, diagonally positioned, or upside down, are sometimes found in and associated with coal beds, showing a short time period for coal forming before the tree could rot and fall. Because the tree is in growth position and shows no root regeneration, it probably was buried very quickly, certainly before it could decay...Jack

Last time we began to examine the two prevalent theories today used to explain the formation of coal on the Earth; the swamp theory and the flood theory, and how they fit into the Biblical record.

The swamp theory claims that, millions of years ago, much of our land was covered by freshwater swamps. In these swamps were leaves, stems, spores, free trunks, branches, plant roots, resins, charred wood from swamp fires, other organic material, and mineral (inorganic) matter were deposited within the swampy basins. This process continued for many years forming heavy, soggy layers and eventually a material called peat. Then dirt, sand and clay covered the peat and heat and pressure produced by these layers caused the peat to become rich carbon deposits. After millions of years, the story goes on to propose, these carbon deposits formed coal...Jack

What do you think about coal? Bet you didn’t expect that question today. Well, coal is important to the Bible-believer, because in its study one can find a powerful demonstration of Noah’s great Flood.

The first documented US coal mining was probably a 50 ton excavation that was dug in 1748. Today, we produce over one billion tons per year...  jack
