who were they?
The article says that the uniformitarian dates were assigned by secular geologists. Since we know their religious position, could they please be named and linked so we can go and read more about these people? --Scott 10:54, 31 May 2007 (EDT)
- The dates have changed considerably over the last couple of centuries, so there are a number of different people involved. "Secular" may not be the ideal word, but assigning these dates indicates that they have ignored if not rejected the Biblical timescale, which makes "secular" pretty close to the mark. Philip J.

- What about dropping the adjective completely? Surely there are Christian geologists who use the dates, even if they didn't invent them. --Scott 11:09, 31 May 2007 (EDT)

- Do you accept that there can be people who accept Jesus Christ as Lord without those people also rejecting every scientific theory that contradicts young Earth creation? Many of these models help to understand how God's creation works, whether it was actually created yesterday, 6000 Y.A. or millions of years ago. There's apparently a Creation Wiki for people who can't see past that. --Scott 18:50, 31 May 2007 (EDT)
