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

Answer 1

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.
