Does Coal Prove the Earth is Young?

Being a native of WV, and being an underground coal miner. When I first started working in the mines, it didn't take long at all to see for myself. That the coal seams I have worked in, hadn't been there for "millions of years". My family has a long line of miners, and all of us have found some incredible fossils and artifacts encased in coal. Things that should not have been there, based on the "billions of years" theory.

Uranium is radioactive, providing the neutrons to turn nitrogen (14 isotope) from coal into carbon14. SO, it provides the answer to this fake dilemma.

Carbon-14 in coal is produced by radioactive decay of uranium-thorium isotope series that is naturally found in rocks (and which is found in varying concentrations in different rocks, hence the variation in carbon-14 content in different coals). It does not cause a problem zeroing instruments 0 is 0 and coal is not used as a reference.

Unfortunately people seem to skip your comment. Or just don’t understand it. Which is understandable considering the premise of this video.

[@grawss]

Radioactive decay of uranium-thorium doesn't appear to produce the necessary variables for c-14 conversion. Where is this info coming from?

[@grawss]

After some research it actually looks viable! It's funny that most science seems to believe carbon-14 cannot be created through alpha decay but I could see it, and I could even see their entire theory on how c-14 is created in the atmosphere being wrong. Alphas have the extra proton, which is ejected upon the creation of c-14. That said, in the same rabbit hole I found a lot of issues; mainly that if small environmental effects like that can contaminate the dating methods, none can be trusted. If radioactive material can be created through multiple different avenues, then it can also be degraded. Throw enough energy at the earth and you could rapidly create or degrade anything.

If not then I would conclude that high energy cosmic rays were not prevalent before the Flood.

From our article, 'How carbon dating works' ( creation.com/how-carbon-dating-works ) "Carbon dating has also been applied to coal, from ‘20-million-year-old’ Miocene coal to ‘300-million-year-old’ Pennsylvanian coal. Every coal sample contained carbon-14. They even contained approximately the same amount of carbon-14. There is no way to physically contaminate all the coal in the world with carbon-14. The evidence is that coal is young, because there should not be any carbon-14 left in anything that that is claimed to be millions of years in age."

Have you ever stopped to think that different layers could have been caused by different catastrophic events that cause local flooding in certain areas.

I believe the super high volcanic mountains we see today were created during the flood. Think about it logically. The 'fountains of the deep' opened up and massive volcanic activity was happening at the same time, the rapidly cooling lava would have stacked in one spot and made an underwater mound which, with continued volcanic activity would have made the mound 'snowball' and get bigger and bigger and form an underwater mountain which would have been exposed when the water receded, leaving a mountain. The slow collision of continents doesn't seem enough to create such high mountain ranges. Not to mention, most volcanic mountains, when erupting out of water do not get taller, maybe thicker and more rounded but not taller. They actually fragment and break apart and sometimes even explode like Mt. Saint Helens, leaving the remaining mountain much smaller. The only way such huge mountains could be formed quickly in my opinion, is to be from immense volcanic activity during a time of water covering the earth. I'm not a geologist or a vulcanologist so I cannot say it's a 100% certainty but it seems more consistent with the young earth/rapid formation timeline.

@@kevinrussell1144 That's the thing, I don't need an IF. I've got the details in the Bible. It explains everything. Even things that science can't explain yet. I KNOW it's true. Not because of any empirical evidence, but because the Lord has changed my life so drastically for the better and I see His works everyday, not just in my life but in those around me. More and more evidence of Biblical events is being found everyday and scientists still can't figure out how evolution could even start because the cell parts needed for division and eventual merging are not able to be made before the cell decays and dies. Life cannot come from non life and something cannot come from nothing, it's impossible and unobservable, therefore scientifically impossible to replicate or even observe. As far as geology, there is way more evidence for a young earth and a global flood than there is of anything else, even in core samples. Layers that science says were laid down over thousands of years have no sign of biological growth in between, which would have occurred between the layers if they were laid down over a long period. It's more likely that they were laid down quickly all at once which would explain the lack of biological material between the layers. There are many other examples of inconsistencies in scientific explanation, like how rock layers can be bent without breaking if they were laid down over long periods of time, more likely mud was laid down and bent while still soft, then turned into sedimentary stone after being bent. Anyways, I don't want to 'convince' you of anything, you have to come to faith on your own terms, if at all. I really pray that you do, it's so freeing and opens up a whole new world and takes the 'glasses' off and let's you see the world the way it truly is.

Life cannot come from non-life, a living cell cannot come from a non living primordial pool of goo or whatever else science tries to say happened in the beginning. Even scientists in a laboratory with expensive high tech equipment cannot make a living cell, complete with programming, from non living components. They can replicate cells using other cells that were already alive but they cannot replicate anything like they claim happened to start life. No matter how many non living items you put into an area, no matter how many lightning strikes, no matter the heat level, life cannot come from non life. Nothing ever observed has created life from non life. Nothing attempted has been able to produce results even close to what is needed for life to pop out of nowhere.

The trajectory of water flow and sedimentation is downhill, so eroded material on continents went downhill out into the oceans where tens of thousands of metres of sediment built up before being uplifted to form present day continents.

Is your proposal as to the basis of the flood as described in the Bible - rain for 40 days and 40 nights? Some other commentators seem to be moving towards an alternative theory such as a meteor impact?

The Bible also says that there was violent volcanic activity and upheaval of the ocean floors. It wasn't just a bunch of rain. It changed the geology of the earth completely.

[@smarterworkout]

People are so caught up in young/old earth that they are missing very important biblical lessons that are relevant in our lives. Whether it's young or old doesn't matter when it comes to learning about God and learning valuable lessons about our sinful nature and other human characteristics. The age of coal does not affect anything when it comes biblical inspiration and lessons. It's like this....In the movie Mr. Mom with Michael Keaton, he is trying to tell some co-workers a story to inspire them, but they are so caught up in the details that they destroy that actual lesson Keaton is trying to teach them.

I don't think it's a young earth I just think the last catastrophe was what we call Noah. I just think that the previous ones were not needed in our biblical account or necessary for our understanding. Trim the fat and pass down the relevant.

Another memorial for Noah’s Flood is the Moon, Earth rock was discovered peppered all over the Moon side that faces the Earth. Our atmosphere was much closer before that historic day.

[@ungmd21]

I am a Christian so I am on your side and truly believe God created the universe and the earth. I am a physician and An amateur astronomer with an interest in physics. While I agree with your discussions on the formation of coal. Formation of carbon on the other hand is a different story. Carbon and more complex elements from what we know can only be formed by nuclear fusion in stars. So the coal that was on the earth must have come from a dead star. I do not know whether stars are young or old but I think they probably have to be older than 6000 years unless God had a different mechanism for their formation. If they are only thousands of years old then we should see them being formed fairly regularly throughout the universe and Galaxy. But we do not. I truly believe God created all this but I do not know how. However this should not be the hill you should die on in terms of believing in God and Jesus Christ. The most important thing to know is that he died for our sins and rose from the dead so we know that what he said was true
