“We find no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end". The defining statement of modern geology, coined by James Hutton in his 1788 Theory of the Earth.
On this day 300 years ago: James Hutton was born in Edinburgh. He convinced people that the Earth’s crust was shaped not by one catastrophic flood, but by slow processes like erosion & volcanic activity over millions of years, earning him the title "The Father of Modern Geology".
