I've already had a run-in with said Glenn Morton. Mr Morton truly has
his position, and it's one built on ignorance and assumption.

Did anyone's irony meter survive this shock?

His
contention is that petroleum and coal deposits indicate a longer age
for the earth, being that they are truly abundant (that's poses
problems for those who claim that we are running out resources).

Moron, the problem is that petroleum and coal are both finite resources.
They are abundant, but they are not infinite, and at the rate they are being
used, it poses a problem for the future.

But
the case be true is that Morton ignores vertical space.

I doubt that Glenn Morton is the one ignoring the evidence.

Whereas on the
bases of trees that exist today, and their limited height, sure, you
could make your rationale.

As could anyone with functioning brain cells.

But Morton is acting upon uniformitarian
assumptions ("the present is the key to the past".

An "assumption" that appears to be correct.



The preflood world was a much more perfect world.

You have made this claim before, but never have been able to support it with
any evidence. First of all, how do you determine what is "preflood" and
what is "post flood". Also, what justification do you have for saying
that it was a "much more perfect world"? Not even the Bible makes that
claim.

The plants had
perfect balance of nutrients.

What evidence do you have for this claim?

Things grew bigger and taller.

Any evidence for this?


Imagine
trees growing upward, much like Redwoods, but maybe larger.

Coal is not made up of tree trunks like redwoods. It's make up of smaller
plants in larger amounts.

Vegetation
was enabled to grow in areas that it cannot do so today.

What evidence do you have for this assertion?

In shady
areas, etc. The preflood world also had much more land space as
indicated by underwater maps.

What "underwater maps"?



A large part of today's ocean are rather empty compared to how it
exists today.

Please support this claim as well. Citations in the primary scientific
literature, please.


Many of the animals that lived in the past were larger than the ones
that live today.

Some animals that lived in the past were larger, but many were smaller too.
The largest animal that ever lived is alive today. Not all animals that
lived in the past were large, Small animals lived at the same time larger
ones did.


They, obviously, consumed this preflood vegetation.

How do you determine "preflood" plants from 'post flood" plants?


This vegetation that lived off perfect combination of nutrients.

Evidence for this assertion, please.
