I think the idea that coal and oil formed gradually is without any support whatsoever ... Totally implausible to me. I think it is much more likely that it was all formed in a single catastrophe ... The Global Flood.

Yes, it's much more likely that many square miles of swamp were lifted by flood waters in one continuous 6-inch thick piece and deposited somewhere else...
...followed by a 3-inch thick slab of marsh bottom, again several square miles in surface area...
...followed by many paper-thin layers of sandstone lifted in one intact piece, one after another...
And so on and so forth, repeated dozens of times...
...With curious breeds of flood-diving animals furiously scooting to the bottom to leave their tracks in each layer as it get delivered.
For once, I agree with you heathens. The global flood didn't make all the oil since oil is constantly being renewed by the core of the earth.
That's how God intended us to get fuel for the last days - oil from the core of the earth. It doesn't matter if we are using it faster than the core makes it though, because we have just enough to last us until end times.
I know you types will demand "evidence" but all I can say is that its just common since.
How was coal and oil formed? The Flood.
How were diamonds formed? They were crushed during the Flood.
Where did dinosaurs go? Drowned in the Flood.
How did Chuck Norris become the man he is today? He survived the Flood without the benefit of an ark.
How long has "afdave" been sticking his head in the proverbial sand against scientific evidence? Since the Flood.
(Apologies to the victims of Hurricane Katrina beforehand)
So by your understanding, there must be a massive oil depository under New Orleans right now.
@BCD: Your hair brained ideas of geology are quite amusing.
So the recipe for oil (and coal since they are apparently the same thing) is:
Following this, the ocean floors are a rich mixture of coal and oil...?
Praise oil, hallelujah!

Time hole for the flood god. Time denial, trying to cast it away. Geology and paleontology courses needed. Not only will you learn that there never was a universal flood since humans appeared, you would also learn how sediment layers accumulate and how we date them. As well as their order. You would understand why an old natural rock formation claimed to be the mythical ark could never be that either. 1800s "flood geology" was not science. Also read on photosynthesis, the way much of the accumulated energy actually originates from solar energy, chemically transformed. That too, allows to realize that it couldn't happen overnight. Read on radiometric dating, and not just C14 against which common straw men are pushed.
You should look up dinoturbated surfaces.
As peat collected in swamps, plant matter that compressed thicker and thicker until it became buried and turned slowly into coal, some dinosaurs foraged at the top of the peat.
So, your fanfiction is that the Great Flood buried a shitload of plant matter into coal seams. Water deep enough to cover the highest mountain. A horrendous amount of water, enough to carve the Grand Canyon in one drainage event, but accumulated slowly enough for dinosaurs to forage for one last bite of the swamp plants before they drowned. And were buried. By a flood that sorted dinosaur bones to different strata than mammal bones and certain plant remains.
And their footprints.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
