The universe has so many interesting niches, and one of the most recent niches to be discovered by man is underground in Illinois, of all places. Ancient trees recorded in mines Two other famous petrified forests can be found in Arizona and the Greek island of Lesbo but they are not located underground and the trees are not as old.
The Dakotas have a lot of petrified forest areas, too, including the Petrified Wood Park of Lemmon, South Dakota. No need to lose your mind going to Kentucky to visit The Creationist Museum there to discover God’s supposed work. Unless, of course, you are a fan of Christian Fiction?

Creationism is fiction right up to the point where it isn’t.
