The man who discovered the ‘abyss of time’ – BBC News
In the 1700s, geologist James Hutton discovered a rock formation in Scotland that transformed how we think about time.
Through studying the rocky headland of Siccar Point, Hutton identified the existence of ‘deep time’ – proving that Earth is millions, not thousands, of years old.

Hutton is considered the Father of Geology and Deep Time is the most important scientific discovery ever made.

I fell in love with geology in the first intro course I took to fulfill the general physical science requirement. I immediately switched my academic course to geology and went on to become an environmental geologist. What a wonderful career I had, I am now retired. This career offers the two things all workers most want: autonomy and variety I was never bored once in my career. The salary and benefits are very good, and there is lots of opportunity for travel, too. There is math through calculus, chemistry and physics to get through, but if I can do it, anyone can. I encourage any person who loves the environment and working outdoors to consider it as a career, geologists consistently report the highest job satisfaction over workers of every other career.

They still don't take it far enough. When they talked about those formations under an ancient ocean begs the question – has Earth always been here in its entirety? And the answer to that is absolutely not. The evidence is overwhelming that the Earth is now and still growing with the evidence of active volcanoes an Earthquakes registering 4.0 or larger every 30 minutes on average around the globe. These two facts emphasize the fact that Earth is still growing this in itself proves many other questions ¿`_

With regard to your comment about the Bible, the Bible says “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” It doesn’t say how long ago, nor does it say how long the creative “days” were. So we understand that the “days” were each a period of time in which certain things took place as described in Genesis.
Please also realize that likely in a few years the claims being made here will be challenged, which has happened many times before concerning how old the earth is and how long animals and people have been here. The Bible doesn’t change.

Your programme was going so well, extremely interesting and informative, until "radio active for thousands of years". Please, that tiny volume of "waste" will have decayed away in the blink of an eye against the time scales you are talking about. Not even the CO2 surge of our age is likely to leave very much of a trace. Maybe better to use these as markers against which to show the enormity of time that you are describing?
I am particularly struck by the importance of this story for allowing Darwin to develop his ideas. The reference to Rabie Burns too.Thanks for pointing this out.

We're not the first to have this knowledge. Just like the bible dominated our understanding of time so has established archeology. We're close to proving there have been knowledgeable cultures that were lost through cataclysms. Ancient stories from native cultures speak of time on earth being greater. It's good we are rediscovering this knowledge like children picking up the crumbs of broken dreams.

That is one of the most ridiculous conclusions I have ever heard of my entire life.
To believe that millions or even billions of years had to occur for two different rock types to form, but then to allow for a 60 MILLION YEAR passage of time with absolutely no geological evidence???
Anyone who doesn't understand that evolution is just another faith-based belief system is living in denial.
Observation of those rocks would lead an objective person to conclude that the bottom layer was an upheaval as part of a worldwide cataclysm (like the Flood) and that they sandstone on top could have easily formed as part of the aftermath. No ludicrous time gap required.
Besides, most of these timeline guesses are based on the assumption that everything happens the same way at the same speed. That there is no way that type of rock could have formed rapidly due to significant changes in the environment.
While holding that argument, these true believers also explain how the environment became so calm so as to leave no trace of change for 60 million years. So rocks take a certain time to form because of the unchangeable manner in which they form, except for when things change and they don't form at all?
Talk about "checking your brain at the door!"

Stop trying to feel glorified in your intelligence. No Christian today capable of thought thinks the earth is 6000 years old nor have they for quite some time. Believing that they do proves your smugness.
When God dictated the Bible few could count past the number of sheep they had in the field. In that era you could probably count on your fingers the amount of men that could understand even millions of numbers let alone billions. The Bible had to be written as if explaining creation to a third grader. Clearly, he assumed the intellectual modern man would understand his reasons for wording it that way. Somehow God overlooked the fact that our college educated scientist wouldn’t have that kind of common sense to read between the lines.

Not for one second am I fooled by this nonsense.
The BBC is a militant far left group and the entire organisation has only 36% white people working there and that criminal underrepresented percentage of people is being systematically reduced.
Wake up people, this masquerades as a geology documentary but veers quickly into an attack on Christianity and then *yawn climate change.
All delivered by a cast androgenous people.
Time to wake up and see the BBC for what it is, a race baiting hate filled political organisation.

A flaw in the READING of the Biblical Account of Time is being employed to discount the Bible. Thev Bible does not limit the creation account to 7 solar days. In fact the sun itself doesn’t factor in until the second creative day.

Hang on. There was once some water depositing sediment in layers which then bent without breaking? How can rock bend without breaking? And then somehow the rock eroded. How did it erode? Do we know? And then some more water deposited some more layers? I’m presuming it’s water because isn’t sandstone a sedimentary rock? And while I’m asking, how do we know this happened over millions of years? There’s are a lot of unanswered questions from this explanation

This is so silly, you know why? If Christianity hadn't come by, we wouldn't have been in the Dark Ages that blocked anybody from studying such things in nature, and science would have flourished so much so the we should already be in the 40th century by now as far as technological innovation.
