Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement reflects the uniformitarian perspective, which posits that the natural processes that shape the earth today operated in the same way and at the same rate in the past, without any major catastrophic events. This view contrasts with the catastrophist perspective, which posits that geological features were formed by sudden, violent events. The statement does not necessarily reflect an anti-evolutionary or biblical perspective.
