Hi Teena,
Glad to meet you and to hear of your struggle with reconciling the Bible
and geology. I'm reading a very interesting book which deals with both
of your excellent questions: "Faith, Reason, and Earth History" by
Leonard Brand.
Glenn and I had a discussion on the origin of the Pittsburg coal seam
which you might find interesting (go to the following site, sort by
subject, and look for coal)

Shortly, I hope to critique a paper of Bob Gastaldo (regarding the
origin of coal) which I presented on the site above.
