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 coal. It’s the result of Noah’s flood burying huge amounts of vegetation under layers of sediment. But where did all this vegetation come from?

Well, there aren’t enough plants on the earth today to produce all the coal we find buried. But the fossil record shows us that the world before the flood was nothing like our world now. For example, there weren’t deserts and a lot more plants would have thrived in the pre-Flood world.

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