Dear Bill Payne,

Now that we have you as a YEC defender in our discussion, I am curious
as to how a YEC defender would explain the large amount of coal that exists.
As Glenn Morton posted Oct. 22,

"According to John Hunt, there are 15 x 10^18 g of coal
in the world's coal deposits. In the entire biosphere,
there are only 3 x 10^17 g of carbon. ... (see J.M. Hunt, AAPG, Nov. 1972 pp
2273-2277)."
