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.
Carbon dioxide, from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, the fossil fuels.
Scientists don't just believe, they know coal is formed from ancient plants compressed in anaerobic environments. However, nobody with a knowledge of geology or paleontology believes oil is formed from dinosaurs. Oil is primarily formed from plankton and algae.
Coal is mined from underground.
Scientists find coal underground by using a variety of methods such as drilling core samples, seismic imaging, and ground-penetrating radar to locate coal deposits. Once a potential coal deposit is identified, further exploration and sampling are conducted to determine the quality and quantity of the coal present.
The global supply of coal is estimated to last for several hundred years, depending on consumption rates and reserves. However, the shift towards renewable energy sources and increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions may impact the long-term demand for coal.
Scientists predict that it will last 155 years.
No, not in our lifetime. It takes millions of years to form coal.

Scientists were surprised to find coal in the Arctic because coal forms from the remains of ancient plants in warm, tropical environments. The presence of coal in the Arctic suggests that the region once had a vastly different climate millions of years ago.
I believe you mean coal bed gas or coal bed methane which is a fossil fuel.
Usually coal is a more appealing fuel source than wood. It, for one thing, burns MUCH faster then wood does. Also, it is cheaper, and more abundant. So overall, i believe that coal is your answer.But coal is a fossil fuel which takes atleast thousands of years ti form where as wood comes in 10 years of minimum
