Uniformitarian Geology: Erosion, and sedimentation have always taken place at more or less the same rate as is average today. It was believed that great floods and other events that would deposit many layers of sediment in a short time had not happened.Merely a starting point for geologists. We know for a fact that local floods do occur and they deposit sequences known as turbidites. Do a little more research.
Agreed. Uniformitarianism only talks to the processes not the rate of sedimentation. What a load.
