Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yeah..Both weigh the same! Information cannot be measured with scales therefore it is not physical and therefore must exist first before the physical can be created. it's been estimated that the internet weighs about the same as a medium-sized egg. The weight of all the electrons in motion that make up the internet at any one moment is equivalent to 50 grams, So if someone snorted it would they end up brainy as feckAny thing is possible in 4 billion years and a bit of luck good and bad. Lot more Mate think about 4 billion years lol how the fook did they measure that? Carbon dating? Pottasium argon dating? How can you beleive this when theres nothing to calibrate to this timeframe? Could you explain your understanding of this? Lot more believeable than a higher being lol,creator that can't be seen or heard . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Coal is a black or brownish-black sedimentary rock that can be burned for fuel and used to generate electricity. It is composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons, which contain energy that can be released through combustion (burning). Coal is the largest source of energy for generating electricity in the world, and the most abundant fossil fuel in the United States. Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of ancient organisms. Because coal takes millions of years to develop and there is a limited amount of it, it is a nonrenewable resource. The conditions that would eventually create coal began to develop about 300 million years ago, during the Carboniferous period. During this time, the Earth was covered in wide, shallow seas and dense forests. The seas occasionally flooded the forested areas, trapping plants and algae at the bottom of a swampy wetland. Over time, the plants (mostly mosses) and algae were buried and compressed under the weight of overlying mud and vegetation. As the plant debris sifted deeper under Earths surface, it encountered increased temperatures and higher pressure. Mud and acidic water prevented the plant matter from coming into contact with oxygen. Due to this, the plant matter decomposed at a very slow rate and retained most of its carbon (source of energy). These areas of buried plant matter are called peat bogs. Peat bogs store massive amounts of carbon many meters underground. Peat itself can be burned for fuel, and is a major source of heat energy in countries such as Scotland, Ireland, and Russia. Under the right conditions, peat transforms into coal through a process called carbonization. Carbonization takes place under incredible heat and pressure. About 3 meters (10 feet) of layered vegetation eventually compresses into a third of a meter (1 foot) of coal! Coal exists in underground formations called coal seams or coal beds. A coal seam can be as thick as 30 meters (90 feet) and stretch 1,500 kilometers (920 miles). Coal seams exist on every continent. The largest coal reserves are in the United States, Russia, China, Australia, and India. In the United States, coal is mined in 25 states and three major regions. In the Western Coal Region, Wyoming is the top producerabout 40% of the coal mined in the country is extracted in the state. More than one-third of the nations coal comes from the Appalachian Coal Region, which includes West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Coal extracted from Texas in the Interior Coal Region supplies mostly local markets. Types of Coal Coal is very different from mineral rocks, which are made of inorganic material. Coal is made of fragile plant matter, and undergoes many changes before it becomes the familiar black and shiny substance burned as fuel. Coal goes through different phases of carbonization over millions of years, and can be found at all stages of development in different parts of the world. Coal is ranked according to how much it has changed over time. Hilt's Law states that the deeper the coal seam, the higher its rank. At deeper depths, the material encounters greater temperatures and pressure, and more plant debris is transformed into carbon. Coal can form relativley quick mate.

gnasher16 30,025 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Must admit i really admire Francies quest to get at the truth of probably the biggest question ever in the world.....im a bit of a cop out about such things i believe God created the earth and feel no real desire to prove it,i guess thats what " belief " is......but likewise i do think much of this so called scientific evidence is " belief " as well.....i dont have the time,the education or indeed the inclination to get at the truth i know why i believe in God and thats good enough for me but Francie is on another level and people like him are of such value to our societies i only wish there was a bigger platform for such people to be heard.

scothunter 12,609 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 There is gnash. Its called church. Its a great place for religious people to go and practise there faith. Surely you dont want people standing on the high street preaching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Church is for a gathering of people to practise their beliefs its not a school of learning.......people like Francie pursue the science of the bible.....i just don't know why that is met with ridicule when another set of beliefs are not,why this generation think they are so superior to any other generation when they are seeing nothing different to what they saw is odd to me.
