The Assumptions Behind Uniformitarianism and Dating Methods

November 18, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

In this talk Dr. Anderson looks at the history of uniformitarianism in geologists like Charles Lyell and its impact on Darwin and materialist/naturalist origins theories. These assumptions are found in all dating methods which have become standard in making claims about the age of life and the earth. It has important bearing on how naturalists and Christians alike understand the problem of evil, the purpose of natural evil, and the original goodness of creation.
