This next picture of the posters at AiG continues the trend of attempting to show that “human reason” and “god’s word” cause people to come to different conclusions about fossils.

Once again, the important stuff is at the bottom:

Here, we have “human reason” showing us that over a long period of time, fossils developed over a very slow period to create coal and many rock layers. On the “god’s word” side, we have a “floating forest” breaking up during the great flood and coal and fossil layers being created rapidly during a worldwide flood 4,300 years ago.

The idea that this could even occur is laughable. Let me refer you to a quick explanation as to why from the Answers in Creation website, which is a Christian website. Obviously, not all Christians believe the same thing, but it is nice to see Christians debunking this nonsense.

Their best quote is this one:

If you wanted the coal beds to form over the continents, here is what must happen.  God would have to sink a forest with the turbulent water, then calm the water and make it still for a day, so the sediment would sink to the bottom, then re-start the current to bring in the next forest to sink, sink it, stop the current, etc., etc.  Sure, God could have done it, but there’s no logical reason to.

I guess if you have magic on your side, you can explain away anything.
