Creationists, how long does it take diamonds to form naturally?

Question

How about petroleum?

Answer 1

Depends on the conditions of the rocks around the diamonds.



Edit: going on, :-P ...Ok, I cannot remember the name of the program except it was a Nova special and something about peanut butter to diamonds and such. Anyway, it was pretty cool. It talked about being able to make diamonds that were not distinguishable from natural diamonds in a couple years. It has the industry all worried and stuff. I was cleaning with the TV on, sorry that my details are shady.

As a creationist I believe that God has His own time line and that we are unaware of what 7 days were to him. I think that it could have been 7 million years per 'day'. Or it could have been 7 seconds per day and He created it pretty much the way it is today (without all that pesky pollution). I wasn't there and have no idea.

Also, a year as we know it is a relatively new idea compared to the vastness of space. Lastly, I think that creation and science can coexist. =)

Answer 2

Diamonds are not formed in the Earth's crust as most other gemstones are. They are formed by great heat and extreme pressure, much deeper down in the layer of volcanic magma called the mantle. Temperatures here reach 1000 degrees centigrade and the pressure can be as high as 50 kilobars - 50 times more pressure than you would be put under if it was possible to dive to the deepest point in an ocean.



The earth's mantle is very large so there is the possibility that within it is billions of forming diamonds awaiting a time when they are exploded on to the earths surface. It is simply a random event that sends these beautiful gems to the surface. They are expelled through “Kimerlite Pipes” when an underground explosion pushes magma at huge speed through one of these pipes taking with it one or more diamonds.



These fabulous stones are found in rivers, plains or seas. As such they are alluvial, as are sapphires and rubies and because of the nature of their expulsion from the mantle causing them to be found in river beds it is very difficult to say exactly where a particular diamond originates from. Often they have travelled for thousands of miles from their origin.

Answer 3

This subject I know nothing about, but if 4 million plus and plus as to mankind, and 42,000 is not enough back then, then what is, and the same applies to petroleum?



I am not into the above time, but the below time where diamonds and petroleum already is:

Answer 4

MK6- no we can't we can make Moisinites ( not sure that's how they are spelled) which look a lot like diamonds but are not.

Answer 5

A diamond that does not form naturally is not a diamond.

Answer 6

You silly. Listen to Edward Current on YouTube and discover that it was all magically made at the same time.

Answer 7

While I'm not a YEC, if the creation story is true and God created a mature man and woman in the garden of Eden, isn't it possible that He also created a fully mature earth?

Answer 8

And what about hematite, which formed before the Earth had an atmosphere?

Answer 9

Obviously S8n put diamonds, oil, and dinosaur bones there after god created the world in 7 days to trick us.

Answer 11

Uh, actually diamonds can form in microseconds, under the right conditions.





---Not a creationist.

Answer 12

The problem with this: Creationists are just going to say that god put them there. They never formed.

Answer 13

I am an old world creationist, so it's a moot point.

Answer 14

Good luck Christians are pretty good at ignoring facts.

Answer 15

We humans can make man-made diamonds pretty quickly, - in about 3 days.

Fossel fuel has now(fact) been produced in a laboratory in a matter of several hours using, what else heat and pressure.

Answer 16

Not as long as you think.



God Bless.

Answer 17

God created everything as it is.
