Can you imagine thinking the Earth was only a few thousand years old and that mountains and stuff were created instantly by huge floods? That was geology before Hutton and Lyell rolled around in the 19th century. These dudes proposed that slow gradual processes, not sudden catastrophes, shaped our planet’s surface over mind-bogglingly long time periods. Radically changed the game – no more…

James Hutton was born on June 3, 1726. A Scottish geologist, agriculturalist, chemical manufacturer, naturalist and physician, he is often referred to as the father of modern geology. He played a key role in establishing geology as a modern science. He advanced the idea that the physical world's remote history can be inferred from evidence in present-day rocks. He argued, contrary to conventional religious tenets of his day, that the Earth could not be young. He was one of the earliest proponents of what in the 1830s became known as uniformitarianism, the science which explains features of the Earth's crust as the outcome of continuing natural processes over the geological time scale.
