:::::Perhaps. I chose the name to be neutral, as some creationists question the reality of the geological column, and "geological timescale", another common one, presumes the reality of the uniformitarian dating system. I came across this name ("geologic system") as an alternative term, so went with it. Most of the early Google hits for both terms seem to be referring to something else, so whether geological system is used more than geologic system ''for this concept'' is still an unknown. I'm open to suggestions, though. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 11:01, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

::::::''"some creationists question the reality of the geological column"''
::::::I do hope not, as that would be on a par with believing the Earth is flat, i.e. in direct contradiction of obvious reality; It's real enough and directly observable in many places (the Grand Canyon for example). What creationists have is a different explanation for how it came about. --[[User:Jeremiah4-22|Jeremiah4-22]] 05:42, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
