What Do Floating Log Mats Have to Do with Noah's Flood? - Dr. Steve Austin

[@jamesc7526]

I grew up in the prairies of Canada. In school they taught us that millions of years ago the prairies used to be inland seas. I always wondered how they became inland seas in the first place. I always wondered about the Biblical flood creating those seas. Where I live in Alberta there are literally coal deposits everywhere. This video perfectly explains and answers my questions about how both things came to be.

[@BillfromtheHills]

After almost 30 years of working in numerous different coal seams in the Appalachian coal basin I understand what the gentleman is saying. Sometimes in the mine roof (the rock layer directly above the coal) you see entire tree logs lying horizontally just like the lake looks. We also encounter vertical tree bases with no roots ( we call these kettle bottoms). They are dangerous because they sometimes fall out and you can tell they were once upright trees. The Dr. answered one question I always had of why are there multiple coal seams, the trees sinking at different rates helps explain it.

[@fannybatter9569]

Suggest you do a bit more research if you think this is true, coal is millions of years old (average is 300m yrs) so this is just total bunkum. Trying to shoe horn the bible into earth's history is just plain silly.

[@jgrahamiii7749]

This is fascinating to me, partly because I am an eye witness to the 1980 eruption, albeit from about 80 miles east. I grew up in apple country in Eastern WA state and was actually spraying our orchard when St Helens erupted. The direct view of it was obscured from me by Mt Adams, but the huge black cloud that rose from behind it was rather daunting. There was lightning in the cloud which made me think "that's a weird place for a thunderstorm to start..." The land around me has a feature in it that the farmers call "hard pan". It is a gray layer that is quite difficult to dig through. For years I wondered what had caused it, but when the eruption had deposited about 1/4" of ash on everything, I realized St Helens (most recently) but also Mt Adams and Mt Rainier were also likely sources for that hard gray layer. In some places it is about a foot thick. The growing season of 1980 was filled with gray dust storms every time the wind came up; and the summer temperature never rose above 90 degrees. The crops were wonderful as all that ash turned out to be a very effective low grade phosphate fertilizer. Eastern WA got a graphic reminder of where all the wonderful growing soils came from.... Thanks for the very informative video. Perhaps you should do one (if you haven't already) on the travelling granite chunks prevalent around Eastern WA that are supposedly from Lake Missoula.

I worked in coal mines for many years and know exactly what he’s talking about. In some places you could literally pull off sheets of fossilized bark and it would cause us to have to use extra roof supports because it would fall out so easily because of how it was layered. It is exactly like he is saying and the mines I worked in were in Alabama.

[@dustinf49]

It has always said in the bible it was a global flood, a flood that covered the earth. I have never heard of ancient records of a smaller flood being recorded. I would like to know what these records are and where they were found. The Bible gives the date of the flood as beginning 2345 BCE and ending in 2344BCE. No civilizations around the world show a disruption in their history - as no one but the 8 people and thousands of animals on the Ark survived. Archeology and history does not corroborate the biblical story. The city of Ur of the Chaldees (ancient Sumer, location of the “plains of Shinar”, a place Noah inhabitated) was the leading city from about 2400 BCE until about 2285BCE and its history is not broken by a global flood. Babylon was rising to power from about 2400BCE and reached a great height of civilization under the famous King Hammurabi and again there is no break in their history due to a flood. In Egypt the 5th Dynasty which began to reign about 2465BCE was followed by the 6th Dynasty (2323BCE) which ruled to about 2000BCE. The time period is very well documented and there was no disruption during the 5th Dynasty at the time of Noah's flood 2345BCE with the nation remaining strong. The Harappan Civilization (2300-1900BCE) in India shows no record of a global flood and, ironically, appears to have ended because of a region wide drought. Chinese history begins nearly 3000 BCE. The Shu-King historic record of China shows that King Yao came to the throne in 2356BCE and ruled for many years after the alleged flood. Incidentally during the reign of Yao, the Shu-King reports that the Hwang Ho River broke its banks a number of times for three generations but no global flood. (Yao is short for Tangyao). Ancient civilizations in India which predate the bible entirely show no evidence that such a catastrophic flood ever happened. Appearance of the oldest book of the Hindu religion, the Rig Veda predates the Bible considerably, according to dating by astronomical events listed in the Rig Veda. The flood was global as stated in the Bible. It was sent by god to wipe out man as he had become too sinful. It hardly holds up to its purpose of killing all on earth if it was a much smaller flood. What would the point of a smaller flood be? I'm sure there were smaller floods all the time as stated about the Hwang Ho River flooded numerous times. No as far as the bible says it was a global flood to do away with mankind and that's why two of every animal was taken on board. As well as the ark as described in the bible not being sea worthy, the proof that this flood didn't occur is the continuation of all other civilizations in earth.

We might think that different species of animals would also sink at different rates and float at different levels depending on each specific gravity.

You do realize the bible was rewritten after the "original" was written right? What most of you read and worship everyday is man made. Not god made. Any higher entity would know without a doubt that you can't give the most important information in the universe to sheep herders around 2,000 years ago and then accept that that will hold up for the future generations. It literally makes no sense as to why a higher being would do that and then not at least do a check up every now and then to make sure evil people haven't twisted his words. But he hasn't done that because he didn't encourage anyone to write anything down. People were more easily tricked into believing in magic or other entities back in those days, that's why you don't see people walking on water or turning water in to wine, they would be debunked and seen as the frauds they are these days. Believe in a higher being if it makes you feel better but my god when will people realize the bible isn't what they tell you it is. Does it have a generally good and positive message people can live by? Yes of course. But is it from the word of the creator of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE? No I don't think a creator of something so grand would have any hand in the bible we have today, but then again like I said man has changed it from the original writing so who knows what was originally written down

This explains well the formation of the coal beds here in Queensland which is spread over an area 1000 km long and 300 wide and follows 3 levels of a river basin with the heavyiest deposits in areas protected from prevailing ocean currents as the flood receded. There is currently known 60bil tonnes still there. Many of the mines I visit have the vertical trees running through the seams, as well as pollen and bark layers. Some of the depsoits have no rock above just sandy material and even one on my old farm where there is soil and a layer of clay only 10 metres thick. The coal there was found simlpy by looking ino a relatively shallow creek bed where the coal is naturally visible. I do see a fair bit of coal as we ship 60mil tonnes a year where I work.

[@RobertReno1]

I am curious as to Dr. Austin's take on finding fossilized trees with the root mass upright instead of down. Logic would seem to dictate that the root masses would float upright like that (because of the greater mass and surface area) until it got waterlogged, in which it would change positions when the root mass becomes heavier than the top of the tree. Only THEN would it sink to the bottom and "replant" itself. Since these trees with the root masses found upright are now part of the so-called "fossil record", this tells me that they were uprooted and buried in sediment extremely fast - before the root mass had time to get waterlogged. Those trees that weren't uprooted were simply buried in the mass of sediment - supporting the story of the Great Flood. Your thoughts?

[@ninjaboy2000]

Ken Jackson they need the millions of years to disprove the Bible. If you can prove scientifically that it happened at the same time, in the recent past , it has devastating implications for dinosaur fossils and any other fossils located in different layers. It proves that the Biblical record of the Flood is not only possible, but probable.

[@slingslang2934]

Just like with the layers in rock they take time. And for example the grand canyon is missing about half the strata containing life & its a mile in depth. The "old ones" make more sense too since bogs contain plenty of peat as well as less oxygen & more acidity meaning less decomposition.

This hinges on the fact there isn't thousands of years between 1 type sinking and the other. Enough time for there to be complete different soil layers between sinkings.

[@enerzise3161]

Not really, if you make a list of how more sediment can end up in a lake like that. It's called starting with an assumption he is correct and then working out varying hypotheses. Major storms causing flooding erosion into the lake. Land slides cause from ice and water erosion. Micro eruptions every few years. Earth quakes causing land slides. A few of all the above. Just because they are not happening at this lake in particular, does not mean they will not happen or did not happen in other locations in the past. He says this is one stage of the process and it is working out in this stage as was in his thesis. Your ignoring they are using their data to explain how a global flood would produce all those coal deposits and layers when the flood supposedly lasted for a year or years. When studying history you find the phrase ...For 40 Days and 40 Nights does not really mean 40, but is an ancient way of saying for a very long time. Also the flood account is not just rain, but also there were earth quakes and the earth opened in various places and water gushed up. Again I must point out, one must start from assumptions, develop a theory or theories and treat the theory as a fact and work from there. Just like Charles Darwin and others do. That is how the scientific process flows. Along the way you hopefully find evidence that proves you are on the right track. You also assume the different layers are what? Do you know in water the various soils have different densities and this would sink and lay down their own distinctive layers? All in one event or in multiple events. The sediments will drop as the water slows it's movement, so at first some heavy soils would lay down and then later lighter ones. Also some vegetation, fruits and vegetables would break down and release their minerals and particles to form layers. If we follow the idea of the earth flooding over a year or in 40 days, there would be layers of sediment laid down in some areas while other areas are not getting much if any layers of sediment at the exact same time or even for weeks or months. There would be massive amounts of natural rubbish moving in islands depositing as time goes by. Then over time as the waters recede there would be rain storms, mud slides and volcanic eruptions and earthquakes adding to layers of deposits all over the world and at the same time still massive islands of floating trees as some have more sap than others so they last longer in the waters. I am only pointing out how to follow the scientific process with the available data and our knowledge of geological changes and climate cycles take place.

Somebody would tell the sun out to day. Even tho you are sun burned you would argue what's your proof.

13:35 to 13:41 _"And it happens in weeks in the right pressure and temperature situations; it doesn't take millions of years to make coal [...]"_ Wow -- I didn't know that.

[@rrs_13]

the thing is, the more pressure and temperature, the less time (and ideal circumstances) you need. Normally, coal is at least several tens of thousands of years old. Radio carbon dating shows that, but people in this channel only believe "scientific interpretations" that supports their magical/mystic beliefs, so I'll say no more.

[@GMNGChristian]

@@rrs_13 You've said too much already. The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years, and, as you know, the greater pressure and temperature you have, the less time you need to make coal (which fits fine within the creation model). Meanwhile, those 'mystics' out there are arguing that coal is in excess of 200 million years old, and calling it science (Australia).

[@nunyabisnass1141]

The right conditions hes referring to are artificial labratory conditions. Assuming there was a world wide flood that could bury organic material under thousands of tons of overburden to provide the necessary pressure, you still have the problem of heat. If the heat was already there as they were laid down, then that heat would also be present at the surface where they came from, meaning the earths surface temperature would be hundreds of degrees Fahrenheit. If the layer originally had a temperature that of the surface, and the surface had an habital temperature, then depending on the thickness of the crust in that area, it would take at least a hundred thousand years for the subsurface heat to transmit to that layer to make coal. His assertion that the heat of decay could produce that heat because it can be replicated in a laboratory, he is being willfully dishonest. Heat of decay will only reach a temperature which the micro-organisms facilitating it can survive, which is never higher 200F. In cases of spontaneous hay combustion, the decomposition from micro-organisms produces other volitile products that oxidise in the atmosphere creating more heat than the decay itself can. In a coal seam there isn't any oxygen to facilitate higher temperatures than the micro-organisms can provide. So his analogy is just wrong along with much of the evidence he provides.

Is charcoal just coalafied wood? Also the host is great....he asks the questions that I am thinking of as the discussion progresses. I love that. It shows me I'm not so thick! I live in highland Scotland and we have peat deposits all over here as well as the western isles, as well as dinosaur footprints on isle of Skye. Peat has been used for centuries to heat homes.

[@ddiver2200]

a long time ago at a mining exhibition, I was amazed to see a lump of wood that was like half a fire because it turned into charcoal and had turned to stone, I thought maybe at that time there was also a forest fire caused by a volcanic hot air wave and then swept away by erosion.

[@melissawalker3888]

Very informative and eye-opening.

[@gaz1tinsley]

Hi Steve, i used to work down a coal mine in England, the coal seam was 5ft to 10ft thick and there was coal seams at 612 meters. 912 meters and 1062 meters down with mostly lime and shale in between ! can you please explain this as in regards to a world wide flood ? there were many fern type leaf fossils either side of the coal seams too !

I'm so loving this series.

[@BroCope]

Another factor in this process is that after the waters rose above the shoreline, there was a giant tidal surge twice a day travelling at 1800 mph. Because there was no shoreline to stop the tidal surge, it would have just kept right on going. The amount of agitation needed in Spirit lake was provided by the moon and the tides, every day for a year. I've not heard anyone address the effect that two tidal surges every day, travelling at 1800 mph might have on the formation of coal and especially peat deposits.

[@papillon3986]

Beautiful I’m actually reading Genesis! Glory to the Most High!

[@MrDrManPerson]

My favorite part of genesis is when god lies to adam and eve saying "if you eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil you will surely perish." They eat from the tree and survive just as satan said. God lied, satan told the truth.

[@Betty-oc6rt]

I poured out the water from my children's swimming pool onto the ground, and the fast flowing water made a small 3 to 4 inch canyon groove instantly into the dirt that flowed about five feet. A flood flowing swiftly that covered the earth could make all kinds of quick changing geography changes. Doesn't heat and pressure quickly make diamonds when applied to coal or graphite stone?

[@TheHigherVoltage]

Dirt isn't rock.

[@tamarakolvoord7795]

Yes, dirt is rock ground down, as in the model of a river bed. Water moves in the direction of least resistance. As water moves it moves rock against other rock putting direct pressure at contact, with force cracks occur. Thus happening on a constant scale, repetitively, to gravel in the last stage becoming dirt😜😂😊

[@MrDrManPerson]

@@tamarakolvoord7795 You really shouldn't speak on stuff you know nothing about. It makes you look like a fool.

[@GMNGChristian]

@@TheHigherVoltage It wouldn't matter, it's a scaling issue. If you take a geology class at a state university you'll get the same lessons, except with sand and done in a classroom environment. The point is a body of water can easily disfigure the terrain, and the debris in the water makes it even easier for that to happen.

Nice job guys,loved it.

[@jrichardjacobs34]

No, one would not think forests grew one on top the other over thousands of years. The record in the sediment layers would tell the story quite clearly.

[@kenbellchambers4577]

Calling the bark 'peat' is a misnomer. Peat is the result of moss becoming pickled due to acidification in bog water. Shredded bark becomes 'brown coal' in time. In a sealed container, (a steel pipe with threaded ends), and baked for two or three days in a kiln, a lump of wood will become coalified wood. Strangely, Rudolph Steiner wrote that the philosophers stone was actually coal, and thin slices of coal reveal a translucent greenish glasslike substance still containing recognisable leaves, stems, pinecones and pine needles. I suppose this is a strong indication that many minerals are of organic origin.

Coal is many of feet thick. How many trees would be needed to from a bark layer for coal??

[@jamesbreeden3061]

That is what the coal deposits were made from- floating plant debris that was eventually covered over with silt and dirt.

[@juerbert1]

Must've been enormous, humanly incomprehensible amounts, we're trying to imagine here, considering the worldwide coal and oil deposits !!

[@Vikseproducts]

Sounds about right.

[@kenjett2434]

Yeah it is and that's been known for many years. The debate has been how it was deposited and the process that converted it into coal. Especially the amount of time it took for that process.

[@susan137]

Apparently and the bark that floated to the bottom.

[@hudsontoo1212]

It actually makes sense. I’d never have thought that would be a thing- but it’s a better explanation than what we got in school.

[@suzannehartmann946]

I have been waiting since the day it happened to find out if those logs PETRIFIED because they were soaked with mineral water. The final step in the petrification process of course would be the drying out of the logs which happened in areas like Arizona. Then there is another variable in how likely the trees are to petrify is how much salt is in the minerals they soak up. In AZ and NM there are hot springs from local volcanoes which might change the mineral content whose tress were subjected to.

[@junacebedo888]

Wonderful!! Very informative and concise

[@kathleennorton6108]

It seems insects, seeds, spores etc. may have rode on, or in huge log jams, lodging on eventual shores and causing them to again thrive on land.
