Your idea that evolutionary thought or theory sprang from geology is incomplete and inaccurate at best.

What you posted is irrelevant to my statements. Go back and read what I said, and read the citations that I provided (at your request).
There were lots of previous thinkers who realized the fossil record indicated a succession of fauna. Only a moron could look at that evidence and fail to notice that there was a sequence of strata, identifiable by distinctive fossils. Many thinkers considered the possibility of multiple, successive creations. (How they reconciled that with the Bible, I don’t know.)
It was geology, particularly the work of Nicholas Steno and William Smith, that required a theoretical explanation, which Darwin and Wallace were the first to provide.
