This is Ken Ham, a missionary to our evolutionized culture and even the church.
You’ve probably heard that it took millions of years to produce all the coal we have today. But is the evidence consistent with this idea? Not at all!
Carbon-14 dating is often used to date things that are supposedly many thousands of years old. But carbon-14 decays quickly, so anything allegedly older than thousands of years shouldn’t have any carbon-14 in it. But there’s carbon-14 in coal deposits! So this coal can’t be millions of years old.
The Bible provides the true age for coal. Most of these deposits were formed during the year-long global flood just over four thousand years ago.
