And this part is just funny,
Now, accumulating evidence of rapid rifting―huge seams that open in perhaps days―contradicts the uniformitarian gradualism popularized by geologist Charles Lyell and naturalist Charles Darwin 150 years ago and still held by many modern geologists.
I suppose the author has a copy of Darwin's, "On the Origin of Continents" as evidence.
Also geology is not a sub-discipline of biology.
Isn't the full title "On the Origin of Continents by Means of Uniformitarian Processes or the Preservation of Favoured Countries in the Struggle to Stay Above Water (and P.S. I Hate God)"?
