{{QuoteBox|The naming of the eras, in particular, now reflects evolutionary beliefs ([[Paleozoic|Palaeozoic]] / [[Mesozoic]] / [[Cenozoic|Cainozoic]]), but the period names ([[Ordovician]], [[Silurian]], [[Cambrian]], [[Cretaceous]], etc.) still generally do not. Thus, the naming of the geologic systems is not tied to the assigned ages and assignment of an ore body to a particular geologic system does not necessarily define its absolute age.<ref>Sarfati, Jonathan, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/2280 More nonsense from Professor Plimer]</ref>}}
