What do creationists believe about the origin of species and the earth?

Creationists believe that the origin of species is "God created all the different animals and races of humans in their separate areas and and they have never changed." The most famous ones are Michael Behe, Kent Hovind, and Kirk Cameron Old Earth Creationists believe that the world is as old as the scientists say but nothing was on the planet until about 10,000 years ago (the difference between them and the Young Earth Creationists is that these people believe that the word "day" in Genesis doesn't mean 24 hours but a much longer period of time. The most famous of these are Hugh Ross and Glenn Morton. Young Earth Creationists believe that the world is 6-10,000 years old and all the proof there is contrary to their opinion is fabricated evidence based on false science. The most famous of these are Michael Behe, Kent Hoving, and Kirk Cameron. Geocentrist Creationists believe that the world is the centre of the solar system or the universe (depending on the one that is asked). The most famous of these are Nephilimfree and ShockofGod. Flat Earth Creationists believe that the world is flat. The most famous of these are Dr. Samuel Birley Rowbotham and Tom Bishop.


What era did most of our limestone and coal formed?

Most of our limestone formed during the Paleozoic era, approximately 500 to 250 million years ago. Coal formation occurred mainly during the Carboniferous period within the Paleozoic era, around 360 to 300 million years ago.


Is an organic sedimentary rock formed from plant materials that is used primarily to generate electricity?

Yes, the organic sedimentary rock you are referring to is most likely coal. Coal is formed from the remains of plants that lived and died millions of years ago. It is a major source of energy used to generate electricity in power plants.


Is coal an organic sedimentary rock?

Most coal is classified as an organic sedimentary rock. The exception would be anthracite, which is metamorphosed bituminous coal.


What are the three most common fossil fuels?

The three most common fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas. These resources are formed from the decomposition of organic matter over millions of years and are widely used for energy production worldwide.

What percentage of Americans are creationists?

No one knows exactly because most American Christians believe that God created our universe, but Science describes how God did it. Creationists believe that God used supernatural magic, not Science to create the Earth.

Was coal first formed just after pterodactyls became extinct?

Most coal formed during the Carboniferous, between 358.9 and 298.9 million years ago, however some coal has formed during most of Earth's history. Pterodactylus lived between 150.8 and 148.5 milion years ago. Thus, most coal formed 150 million years before Pterodactylus lived, but some coal was forming while and even after the existence of Pterodactylus.


What type of coal probably formed from the greatest pressure?

Anthracite coal likely formed from the greatest pressure, as it is the highest grade of coal and has undergone the most intense metamorphism.


How long do christian scientists believe it takes to make coal?

Not all Christians are creationists. "Young Earth creationists" believe the Earth is between 5,700 to 10,000 years old. As far as coal formation goes, I assume they think it was created with the rest of the world. Those who hold this belief don't seem like the types to become scientists. It just goes against much of what they consider to be true. Non-creationist Christians who become scientists will most likely believe what the rest of the scientific community believes when it comes to this. They recognize evolution, plate tectonics, and the general timescale of things on Earth. They're scientists like any other.


What Type of coal is most like the organic matter from which it formed?

Bituminous coal is most like the organic matter from which it formed as it is formed from the slow accumulation and compression of plant materials over time. It retains a higher carbon content compared to other coal types and has a relatively high energy content.


What is the biggest problem that creationists face when discussing the origin of parasites?

Most creationists claim that they are degenerate forms, when in fact they are not.


How where coal and oil made?

Coal is formed from the remains of plants that have been compacted and heated over millions of years. Oil is formed in a similar way but from the remains of marine organisms such as plankton. Both coal and oil are fossil fuels, created through the process of decomposition and pressure under the Earth's surface.


Is there diamond in a coal mine?

It is possible to find diamonds in coal mines, as diamonds are formed from carbon under high pressure and temperature conditions similar to those found in coal mines. However, finding diamonds in a coal mine is rare, as most diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle and brought to the surface through volcanic activity.


Why is there no coal on the moon?

There is no coal in the moon because there is no life on the moon. Accordingly, there is no plants or forests on the moon that can the basis for coal formation. Coal is called a fossil fuel because it was formed from the remains of vegetation that grew on earth as long as 400 million years ago. The plants which formed coal captured energy from the sun through photosynthesis to create the compounds that make up plant tissues. The most important element in the plant material is carbon, which gives coal most of its energy.


How old is coal?

Coal should be around 360 and 286 million years old because most of the coal in the world was formed in the Carboniferous Period, which occured 360 and 280 million years ago.


How is coal created and where does coal it come from?

coal is created by the deposition and compaction of huge plant(organic) material deposited into a basin,with the increasing depth the high rank of coal is formed. The order is:- peat>lignite>bituminous>anthracite Peat is formed at shallow depth and on moving downward anthracite is formed at greater depth.
