Wow! The 'scientific' model for creation says that the various coal layers were put down after man had learned to work metal? Howcome you never told us about this before? Did it all just fall from the sky one day, or what? Or did gawd create these artifacts in sutu? (SET SARCASM = OFF) Seriously, I didn't think that even the most rabid bible pounder would consider this evidence for creation unless the 'scientific' creation theory could explain these artifacts. Now either I was wrong, or there's a whole lot more details to your 'theory' that you've been keeping secret from us.
