... kinds of animals and plants, by God's hand. Lyell rejected so non-scientific a hypothesis (as did James Hutton before him), and replaced it with the notion that geological processes proceeded gradually - all geological processes. In his major work, Principles of Geology, Lyell said that abrupt transitions in the geological record would one day be shown ... was therefore somewhat surprising to find, a year later, the respected science journalist, Roger Lewin, writing: At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the great French geologist and naturalist Baron Georges Cuvier proposed what came to be known as the Catastrophe theory, or Catastrophism. According to the theory, the abrupt faunal changes geologists saw in ...

... their rivals, the catastrophists, whose ideas were dominated by religious dogma. However, the reputations of both groups have now been re-assessed in books such as Anthony Hallam's Great Geological Controversies [1 ], Stephen Jay Gould's Time's Arrow, Time's Cycle [2 ], Richard Huggett's Cataclysms and Earth History [3 ] and Claude Albritton's Catastrophic Episodes ... : "Charles Lyell, the godfather of geological gradualism, had pulled a fast one in establishing the doctrine of imperceptible change. He had argued, quite rightly, that geologists must invoke the invariance (uniformity) of natural laws through time in order to study the past scientifically. He then applied the same term - uniformity - to an ...

Here we find a valiant attempt to weave the sciences of Geology, Astronomy, and Anthropology into a single tapestry.

THOUGHT TO BE A LAYER OF SOLID HYDROGEN The geologic column presents many facts that are not understood. This is plainly evidenced by the fact that some of the most eminent geologists disagree in their interpretation. There is a series of ages ranging from Archaen time, to the post-glacial or recent period. Hardly any two geologists agree either as to ...

... Lyell. With the acceptance of their doctrine came a historical revision in science- from catastrophism to uniformitarianism- that directed research along gradualist paths which admitted no major violent breaks in the geological record. The concept, in 1950, was so deeply entrenched that, when Immanuel Velikovsky offered his catastrophic theory in Worlds in Collision it was met with a belligerent ... as, for example, to explain away a 1300-foot beach in the Andes mountains and other high beaches elsewhere, without numerous intermediate beaches between them and the sea, the geologist and geophysicist critics ignored this evidence in unison- thereby denying the facts to themselves.
