Geology Quotes - Page 2

• In the great debates of early-nineteenth century geology, catastrophists followed the stereotypical method of objective science-empirical literalism. They believed what they saw, interpolated nothing, and read the record of the rocks directly.

• We hence acquire this sublime and interesting idea; that all the calcareous mountains in the world, and all the strata of clay, coal, marl, sand, and iron, which are incumbent on them, are MONUMENTS OF THE PAST FELICITY OF ORGANIZED NATURE!

• One of the most important things about the geology on the moon is your descriptions of what you see, comparing them to things that you've seen on Earth so that the geologists and the scientists on the ground would know what you're talking about; and then take pictures of them.

• Sabemos que la evolución se produjo no por fósiles transicionales como A. natans, sino por la convergencia de pruebas procedentes de campos tan diversos como la geología, la paleontología, la biogeografía, la anatomía y fisiología comparadas, la biología molecular, la genética y muchos más.

• La naturaleza desvela sus secretos internos de dos maneras: una, por la fuerza de los cuerpos que actúan fuera de ella; la otra, por los propios movimientos de sus entrañas. Las acciones externas son los fuertes vientos, las lluvias, las corrientes fluviales, las olas del mar, el hielo, los incendios forestales, las inundaciones; sólo hay una fuerza interna: el terremoto.

• According to this view of the matter, there is nothing casual in the formation of Metamorphic Rocks. All strata, once buried deep enough, (and due TIME allowed!!!) must assume that state,-none can escape. All records of former worlds must ultimately perish.

• Aunque estuve cuatro años en la Universidad [de Wisconsin], no seguí el curso normal de estudios, sino que escogí lo que me pareció más útil, en particular química, que me abrió un mundo nuevo, matemáticas y física, un poco de griego y latín, botánica y geología. No estaba ni mucho menos satisfecho con lo que había aprendido, y debería haberme quedado más tiempo.

• The course of the line we indicated as forming our grandest terrestrial fold [along the shores of Japan] returns upon itself. It is an endless fold, an endless band, the common possession of two sciences. It is geological in origin, geographical in effect. It is the wedding ring of geology and geography, uniting them at once and for ever in indissoluble union.

• It is demonstrable from Geology that there was a period when no organic beings had existence: these organic beings must therefore have had a beginning subsequently to this period; and where is that beginning to be found, but in the will and fiat of an intelligent and all-wise Creator?

• We may observe in some of the abrupt grounds we meet with, sections of great masses of strata, where it is as easy to read the history of the sea, as it is to read the history of Man in the archives of any nation.

• Philosophers, if they have much imagination, are apt to let it loose as well as other people, and in such cases are sometimes led to mistake a fancy for a fact. Geologists, in particular, have very frequently amused themselves in this way, and it is not a little amusing to follow them in their fancies and their waking dreams. Geology, indeed, in this view, may be called a romantic science.

• We know from astronomy that the universe had a beginning, from physics that the future is both open and unpredictable, from geology and paleontology that the whole of life has been a process of change and transformation. From biology we know that our tissues are not impenetrable reservoirs of vital magic, but a stunning matrix of complex wonders, ultimately explicable in terms of biochemistry and molecular biology. With such knowledge we can see, perhaps for the first time, why a Creator would have allowed our species to be fashioned by the process of evolution.
