    Coal is still being formed even today. It is a cycle of decomposing matter getting trapped in sediment and the decomposition process getting disrupted due to a lack of oxygen. Just because bacteria have adapted to eat lignin doesn’t mean they can decompose organic matter without oxygen. Thus coal is still being formed.

    It would be more accurate to say that most coal is from the Carboniferous. Coal is still being made to this day, just not in the crazy amounts like back then.
    There are a few coal deposits spread out across the Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, and a few on the Cretaceous.

    Not true actually. Apparently there are younger coal-deposits from the jurassic and cretaceous period in West-Canada. There are also much older coal deposits from some of the first plants on land of the devon period. I saw some myself actually. There's a deposit not far from where I live. You can barely see the line of coal. But there are even older coal deposits from algae of the proterozoic eon.

    Diagenesis is a process when protein and carbohydrates break down from complex to simple bonds forming simple hydrocarbons which are combustible, the coal we use is the most combustible because it is the simplest bonded coal we have. Lignite is 2 million year old coal but it still has relatively complex bonds, so it isn’t as combustible and therefore we don’t use it as much.

    @Skeptical_Numbat 7 месяцев назад +11

    Most of the major coal beds date to the Carboniferous period, but there are some from later periods in the Jurassic & Cretaceous periods (though these were formed by very different processes, resulting in different forms of coal). After years & years worth of compacted wood were eventually sandwiched between rock strata, it took millions of years for the intense pressures & high temperatures found deep underground to gradually convert the carbon compounds into coal.
    Also, it was that Fungi hadn't evolved the specific enzymes which allows them to disassemble Lignin, thus allowing various micro-organisms to secondarily digest the wood proteins.

    • @maxbrewster245
      @maxbrewster245 7 месяцев назад

      @_ninthRing_ It doesn't take millions of years for coal to form. The conditions can be duplicated in the laboratory to produce coal in a matter of weeks.
      Similarly, wood can be petrified in a short amount of time and some companies do this commercially to produce petrified wood for things like gym floors.
      Similarly, the conditions for opal formation can also be duplicated in the laboratory to produce opals quickly. Ditto for diamonds.
      Millions of years are not required, but evolutionists NEED them to make their story seem plausible.

      You mean everyone who isn't a member of that sad minority of Theists (mostly fundamentalist fringe followers of one of the Abrahamic religions) who attempt to pit their dubious comprehension of high--school level science (not to mention, all the pathetic pseudo-science talking points provided by grifter apologists #Excusegists) against well over a century & a half of robust, peer-reviewed, scientific research by some of the greatest intellects amongst the various scientific disciplines of Biology, Geology, Nuclear Physics, Genetics, Taxonomy/Cladistics, Medicine, Epidemiology, Paleontology, Anthropology, Zoology, Botany, Microbiology, Astronomy, Astrophysics, Cosmogony, etc.
      To be clear, *Evolution* is perhaps the single most well evidenced Scientific Theory in human history (comprising of multiple proven hypotheses, laws & myriad facts), having demonstrated, beyond the shadow of doubt, that all life on Earth:
      ▪︎ Is the product of Evolution,
      ▪︎ Is still currently Evolving &
      ▪︎ Will continue to Evolve in the foreseeable future.
      nb: As with all scientific theories, Evolution makes no pretence at explaining anything outside of the natural universe (if any such thing can even be said to exist).

    A bit more information on this:
    The reason that the plants turned to coal was pressure. They kept piling up, and piling, and as they piled, the pressure built at the bottom, slowly squeezing everything but carbon out of the plants, and it continued compacting and compressing, making more and more coal until finally, the bacteria learned how to eat lignin, but many, many trees had already turned to coal.

  • @BackYardScience2000
    @BackYardScience2000 8 месяцев назад

    The most favorable conditions for the formation of coal occurred 360 million to 290 million years ago, during the Carboniferous (“coal-bearing”) Period. *However* , lesser amounts continued to form in some parts of the Earth during all subsequent periods, in particular the Permian (290 million to 250 million years ago), and throughout the Mesozoic Era (250 million to 65 million years ago).
    The accumulated plant matter buried during the Tertiary Era - less than 65 million years ago - is generally less mature. It is often in the form of lignite, which still contains a high content of volatile matter (bitumen and decayed wood) and has a lower carbon content. However, there is also some higher rank coal from the Tertiary Era, coal that matured early, heated by plate tectonics. Examples of this include Paleocene coal (65 to 55 million years ago), found in Columbia and Venezuela, and Miocene coal (20 million years ago), found in Indonesia. In Indonesia, where the gradient is very high, anthracite lies close to the surface. However, the deposits in the Moscow Basin have never gone beyond the lignite stage. It’s too cold. Finally, recent accumulations (from 10,000 years ago to today) are very rich in fibrous debris known as peat, in which the shapes of branches and roots can still be discerned. This material was not buried deep enough to contain or have produced elemental carbon as of yet.
    Coal began forming 360 million years ago, but still keeps going and is still going on today in peat bogs. So it never stopped, it's just not being made anywhere near as much these days due to decomposition being so good these days. It never fully stopped, though as the video suggests.

    Also it probably helped that the underbrush only went away because of fires not bacteria, so you could potentially have miles deep underbrush that would all catch fire over a century. When the Fire was over there would just be a mass a carbon at the base level mixed in with the soil. That's where coal comes from mostly.

    Hi. So I just watched your video, and I can't remember what timeline you used, but I have been around a bit of coal from time to time. I thought I might share with you and anyone else. Who might be curious and bored as hell. So I'm from one of many coal mine towns in the country. Even though we seem to have lost a few mines over the past few years. Normally, coal miners tend to be from coal miner families. Generational. I'm an oddity in my fam because I am the 1st to ever work in a mine and / or a coal mine. The type is significant because coal mining is by far the most dangerous in the mining industry. So I have spent many an hour. Underground, staring at a pce of equipment. For 8 or more hours. Sometimes I have operated some things every day for months on end. Which isn't abnormal for this kinda work. Sometimes you may have a free moment or so. Sittin around, lickinem. You'll figure it out. Anyways, we actually do find fossils in the coal bed. Mainly ferns. Well preserved, fine detail. Coal is naturally moist. The moment we cut in, it begins to dry out. This said. You may bring home a nice fossil. By the next morning, you will have a pile of crumble. This isn't always the case. Just for the ones found in the coal seam. Besides all of that. What has sparked my response was a comment you made. All coal was formed at the same time then not anymore.why I mentioned time-line. So not possible. I know the time-line thing. I won't forget. Everything I say can easily be verified. So I live in southern Illinois. We are situated in what's known as the coal bowl. A large portion of the middle of our country is part of this. Midwest. So this is a descriptive term for the underlying strata. Including coal seams. So at my most shallow spot was still several hundred ft down and Sometimes miles in. Like 7 or 8 was the farthest back I have been. So you go down and your 1st stop will be on what's known as 6 seam. Below it is 5 seam, and so forth. These are separate coal seam with various types of strata separating them. Now they don't actually know how many seams there are or how deep the bowl is. But it's huge. And deep. Built just the way I described. If it was several million years and it looked like it all could be connected. Then I would understand. But it's not. They are separate and in some cases the seams can be separated by hundreds if not thousands of feet. Coupled with the depth problem. That shit happened a bunch of times over a massive time frame. Someone might need to dig a bit deeper on this one. No puns😂

    I mean, yes, this was the theory going for many years, but now we know it wasn't just because of lignin, since some decomposers like some fungi and bacteria already has mechanisms to deal with lignin, the reason we have coal is both the invention of lignin and those high plants falling into marshes and waters, where barely any oxygen was present, so the bacteria couldn't live there, and since the plants couldn't decompose, they just piled up, got covered in mud that pressed them down, and turned into coal.

    Could’ve also been a catastrophic flood that uprooted every tree on earth and then, after water logging, they all sank to roughly the same plane and then fossilized under the great pressure and heat. Would explain why there is no sign of root systems growing in that coal bed since the trees would have been growing on top of them selves for millions of years.
