Creationism, Uniformitarianism, Geology and Science.

Shea, James H.

Journal of Geological Education, v31 n2 p105-10 Mar 1983

Points out that the most basic of creationist attacks of geology, their claim that uniformitarianism is an unreliable basis for interpreting the past, fail because the uniformitarianism they describe is no longer a part of geology. Indicates that modern uniformitarianism is merely the philosophical principle of simplicity. (Author/JN)
