When Antarctica was still a part of the super continent Gondwana, it was covered in forests and had warm coastal currents on its shores. As Antarctica separated from Gondwana and moved south, the waters cooled, the temperatures dropped, the forests disppeared, the land was covered in snow which was compacted into ice over time, all combining to create coal deposits.

What evidence is there of god existing?
This is a complex question, because a large number of arguments have been proposed, over the past several thousand years, supporting or opposing belief in God for many different reasons. The simplest and most often used argument is that the existence of the universe is evidence that someone must have created it. Atheists or agnostics would argue, however, that there could be a way that a universe could come into existence without having to be created by a deity (and in any event, if we need God to explain the existence of the universe, how then do we explain the existence of God?). Many interesting books have been written on this topic, and I would not have the time to do justice to it in this brief comment.
