This is Ken Ham, inviting you to come and visit our full-size Noah’s Ark at the Ark Encounter.
All over the world, massive coal deposits lay underground. This coal forms when thick piles of vegetation are exposed to intense heat and pressure. Now most people think it took millions of years of slow processes to produce this coal. But when scientists copy these natural processes in a lab, it only takes a few months!
So how did coal form? Well, the global flood described in Genesis would’ve buried trillions of tons of vegetation in layers of sediment. Heat and pressure then converted the vegetation into coal over a matter of months.
The true history found in the Bible explains why we have coal today.
