  • @BellaH-zb9pw
    @BellaH-zb9pw 11 месяцев назад +893

    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.
    But around 90-95% of our deposits currently are from the Carboniferous.

You can barely see the line of coal. But there are even older coal deposits from algae of the proterozoic eon.

    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.

      @_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.

      _"Evolutionists",_ eh..?
      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).

    Original: Some guys came to my house and made coal from all the trees on our land though...they cut the trees down, stacked them into a circle, covered the whole thing with soil and then burned them for days. Coal is still being made today.

    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.

    This is *probably* not true. This is a hypothesis backed by some legitimate evidence, however I think current scientific consensus is that the increase in lignin consuming microbes was likely negligible in terms of coal formation. Instead it likely had more to do with the climate.

    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.
