Deep Water Coals Discovery Supports Flood

Recent geological discoveries are defying standard uniformitarian explanations. First there was the massive Whopper Sand found in the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico.1 Then there was the dinosaur bone washed 70 miles offshore and buried 1.5 miles deep.2 And now researchers have come across another startling discovery—coal beds hidden far beneath the South China Sea.3
Geologist Peter Lunt reviewed recent oil well drilling data in an area in the South China Sea known as North Luconia, about 175 miles off the coast of Borneo.3 The oil wells were drilled in over 3,000 feet of water and yet penetrated a thick section of bedded coals at the bottom. Coal deposits form when land plants are buried between sedimentary layers, but no land is near these particular deposits. So, how did these coals form in such deep water so far offshore?

fascinating
Dramatic new discovery? Nope.
Here’s a link to a story about coal beds under the ocean - from 1901. https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=SFC19010721.2.127.25&e=-———en—20—1—txt-txIN————1 “Coal Mines of England that are under the Atlantic Ocean
In short, any “scientist” that would be surprised by this have a fairly high level of ignorance. Folks like this are a dicredit to the Creationist science.
Very interesting read.
There’s a YouTube Channel out there called “Is Genesis History”.
If you want to hear the massive amounts of evidence for a global flood that almost every university stifles, that is a great channel to start with.
Almost every major religion has stories about a “Flood”. When is not all that clear.
Despite my fairly high level of ignorance, I am able to see a vast difference between a coal field contiguous with the landmass vs. one that is 170 miles from land and under 3000 feet of ocean.
Did you actually read the article?
Later
For the 300 million year period when there was plant life, but no animal life on land, the plants proliferated, died and did not decompose. This formed a worldwide coal deposit layer, some of which is now underwater.
When bacteria evolved, digestion of plant waste began, and the coal layer finished forming.
There are carbon deposits a lot deeper, and further from shore, in the Gulf of Mexico.
Of course, if you want to really be shocked, read about the Permian Basin. Used to be under an ocean, but now in a semi-desert area.
Yep!
I love that channel!!

‘The Flood’ was most likely a memory passed down from when the ancient lands around the Med region that were once dry land and liveable were flooded by the melting at the end of the ice age around 10-12,000 years ago. Every civilization has flood myths and they all tell different accounts of the same event at the dawn of “civilization”, uh huh, sure, the gods made it happen, riiight.
All that creation crap about the earth is 6000 years old should be sent to the shredder and never mentioned, ever again.

And fix this tinkertoy board, use Vbulletin or a modern server! This crap has been around as long as the dinosaurs and is pure crap to post and read!
The flook=ding of Sundaland which comprised most of the South China Sea and the displacement of peoples westward.All coasts experienced flooding. The Black Sea was probably created then as low dry and occupied land was flooded.
From the article:
‘The research in the study utilized the organic compound pyruvate in a reaction with a specialized form of iron called an oxyhydroxide. Under the human-engineered and controlled conditions, the researchers were able to get the reaction to produce the amino acid alanine. In other words, only one of the twenty amino acids needed for proteins in a real living cell was produced and the media claimed it “recreated the origins of life.”
I agree with the article that ONE amino acid is not going to cut it. Also, I wonder if Alanine would stick around or decompose.
It seems to me that all such studies have been “suggestive” at best. If you want to believe, then you have been given the faintest glimmer of hope. The studies are very far removed from the headline editorial conclusion “NASA was able to recreate the ‘origins of life’.”
