YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe earliest founders of geology were catastrophists.
They believed Earth’s landscape was shaped by rare but immense events. As science moved away from biblical literalism, uniformitarianism rose to prominence, emphasizing slow, incremental change over deep time. While this resolved theological conflicts, it also sidelined evidence of sudden global disasters.
Today, that omission is being revisited, as mounting data suggests catastrophes played a far greater role in shaping both Earth and human history.
