OK, so it looks like this one picture really is all the evidence you have here. I requested more in all honesty. Your source said that the doorknobs were cemented to the coal and that looks like the case to me. Being cemented to the top of the coal is not the same thing as being engulfed by it as it formed. And it would also be helpful to have some information about the coal itself, seeing as how coal consists of sedimentary layers and we can study what's inside those layers. You don't have that information either. Yet you claim this picture to be some kind of evidence. If that were the case, don't you think places like AiG would be writing articles about it and claiming it's more "devastating" evidence for the "fraud" of evolution?

What exactly are you trying to say here? What is your specific claim about coal, and what evidence can you present for it?

I know that coal has artificially been produced in a laboratory. These conditions are different from those in nature. If you have a Google on coal you will see what evidence there is that layers of coal are old, just like we can tell how old various other kinds of sedimentary layers are, but before I go into that I would like to find out first what your position is on this. Do you claim that coal was laid down in a global flood, for example, or just that it all has to be less than 6000 years old?



I've never had the dubious pleasure of talking with someone so full of venom. So you don't think there's any burden of proof on you to prove your claims to other people who are experts in the subject, and that creationist scientists should also be exempt from this? Why exactly do you think they shouldn't need to have their work scrutinised? So if it contains scientific flaws, that's just evolutionists being unfair is it?



If in other words you are saying we can't learn anything from the past, this topic has already been discussed here. It might be helpful if you took the time to read some old posts so that we do not cover the same ground all over again.



These topics have also been covered in other threads. If you want to talk hominid evolution it's a topic I have a lot of interest in, and I've already posted about it, including information about various dating methods that have been used on hominid fossils, and comparative morphological studies. Like I said, I am going to ask you to have a look at what's been discussed here before. Let's stick to coal in this thread please.

Evolution has also been observed. Russ2, a new member here, has only just posted information on genetics, and bacteria that have evolved and developed beneficial mutations. Again, another thread. If you can spend a little of your time in studying the information already here, before your next angry tirade against evolutionists, it might help give some focus to the topics under discussion.
