I think it was because I was pressing you that your creation scientists were claiming diamonds were 50,000 years or older and you claim 6,000 years. You guys are an order of magnitude apart. You can't have it both ways.
I can't speak for the old Earth Christians and others, but the Earth is young. My UC scientists found the diamonds could be radiocarbon dated, but then came up with excuses. It was the same when Mary Schweitzer in 2005 found soft tissue remaining in dinosaur fossils. Others have found the same throughout the world. This is being hidden by the atheist scientists. They know that science and religion come together. That's why they try so hard to avoid it. Isn't this what Satan wants? He wants to hide, but through his evolution he wants God to hide. However, that is impossible.
"The RATE Group - Creation scientists at the
Institute for Creation Research and the
Creation Research Society are collaborating on a project to study factors that might affect radioisotope dating. Specialists in Geology, Geophysics, Astrophysics, and Physics are actively engaged in this line of research."

With Genesis 1:9, we have Noah's Flood or the global flood. The evidence is overwhelming that there was a global flood. However, the atheist scientists can't admit that of else they would have to let, the creation scientists, like the RATE scientists back into their peer reviews. Then they won't be able to hide their findings nor use science by consensus.
As for your coal ages, here is a better and more truthful article.

Too Much Coal?
Another argument used against the Bible time-line is that the pre-Flood world could not have produced enough vegetation to make all the coal.[
23] But again, this argument is based on wrong assumptions. The pre-Flood land area was almost certainly greater before all the Floodwaters were released onto the surface of the earth. Also, the climate was probably much more productive before the Flood.[
24] Furthermore, it has been discovered that much coal was derived from forests which floated on water.[
25] So, calculations based only on the area of land would be wrong. And finally, the estimates of how much vegetation is needed are based on the wrong idea that coal forms slowly in swamps and that most of the vegetation rots. The Flood would have buried the vegetation quickly, producing a hundred times more coal than from a swamp.[
