Summary:
There are three men whose life's work helped free science from the strait-jacket of religion. Two of the three--Nicolaus Copernicus and Charles Darwin--are widely heralded for their breakthroughs. The third, James Hutton, is comparatively unknown, yet he profoundly changed our understanding of the earth, its age, and its dynamic forces. A Scottish gentleman farmer, Hutton's observations on his small tract of land led him to a theory that directly contradicted biblical claims that the Earth was only 6,000 years old.
