Coal and the Flood

All over the world, there are massive deposits of coal. This week, we learned that it doesn't take millions of years to make it. It’s the result of Noah’s flood burying huge amounts of vegetation under miles of sediment. But where did all this vegetation come from?

There aren’t enough plants on the earth today to produce all our coal. But the fossil record shows us that the world before the flood was nothing like our world now. We believe there was one continent, and plants thrived in lush lands.

There was more than enough vegetation before the flood to produce all the coal that we have today.
