69. Human Artifacts

At various times and places, man-made objects have been found encased in coal. Examples include a thimble,^a an iron pot,^b an iron instrument,^c an 8-karat gold chain,^d three throwing-spears,^e and a metallic vessel inlaid with silver.^f Other “out-of-place artifacts” have been found inside deeply buried rocks: nails,^g a screw,^h a strange coin,ⁱ a tiny ceramic doll,^j and other objects of obvious human manufacture.^k By evolutionary dating techniques, these objects would be hundreds of millions of years older than man. Again, something is wrong.
