^Uniformitarianism - my new word of the day. What is old is new
again. Or, for a cynic, what is new is already old hat. It's a
geological approach to the history of the planet, that "the
present is the key to the past," - You can understand all the
yesterdays and tomorrows by understanding the Now. Good outlook
for rocks and I think it makes a good philosophical/religious
viewpoint.^
