Abstract
This article presents an argument for catastrophic deposition as the primary mechanism for the formation of coal deposits in the Paraná Basin, Brazil. The author, Carl R. Froede Jr., examines geological features like diamictites and turbidites within the basin's strata, noting that even uniformitarian geologists have proposed jökullhlaups, or glacial outburst floods, as analogous events for their formation. However, Froede contends that these observations are more readily explained by the global Flood narrative from a young-Earth creationist perspective, suggesting that the rapid erosion, transport, and deposition of organic and sedimentary material during this event led to the coal layers. The article critiques traditional uniformitarian models of coal formation and proposes that the observed geological evidence aligns with the expectations of a catastrophic worldwide flood.
