Uniformitarianism – מילון אנגלי-אנגלי
uniformitarianism
n.
(Geology) uniformitarian doctrine, doctrine that natural geologic processes took place in the past in the same way as they occur today
Uniformitarianism
Uniformitarianism is the assumption that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the
universe now have always operated in the universe in the past and apply everywhere in the universe. It has included the
gradualistic concept that "the present is the key to the past" and is functioning at the same rates. Uniformitarianism has been a key
first principle of geology and virtually all fields of science, but naturalism's modern geologists, while accepting that geology has occurred across deep time, no longer hold to a strict gradualism.
