August 11

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
(Romans 12:21) KJV

The description of the Pennsylvanian we have is an example of how to use inductive rationalization to make the remains of an ecosystem sound like it’s evidence for a period of time.

Mosses, Lycopods, Sphenopsids

So the Light of Israel will be for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame; It will burn and devour His thorns and his briers in one day. And it will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, Both soul and body; And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.
(Isaiah 10:17-18) NKJV

“Mosses, lycopods, sphenopsids, ferns, seed ferns and cordaites.” The next part of the description we have of the Pennsylvanian is a laundry list of plant kinds which sounds like an ecosystem or habitat, not a period of time.

Extensive Swamps in Lowlands

It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many. But its swamps and marshes will not be healed; they will be given over to salt.
(Ezekiel 47:10-11) NKJV

Most of the sedimentary deposits assigned to the Mississippian are coal beds in the Mississippi valley. The coal is the remains of swamp habitat that was buried in a world-wide flood.
