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. This
expertly crafted narrative tells the story not only of Hutton, but
also of Scotland and the Scottish Enlightenment, including many of
the greatest thinkers of the age, such as David Hume and Adam
Smith.
