Uniformitarianism Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Uniformitarianism has two separate meanings;
- Within religious philosophy, Uniformitarianism ("with a capital U") is the belief that the Universe has existed as it is now for an infinite time and will continue to exist for ever.
- Within scientific philosophy uniformitarianism ("with a small u") refers to the assumption that conditions were as they are now unless there is evidence to the contrary. This is an important principle in geology and other sciences on a long timescale such as astronomy and paleontology. There is evidence that the Universe was once not as it is now, so the idea of Uniformitarianism is rejected.
