Actually, paleontology and geology led to the theory of evolution.

And to think all this time I thought Chucky was trained for the clergy, and now I discover he was a paleontologist and a geologist. I guess I need to learn to use Google better.

Now that I think of it, I remember reading in some "creationist pamphlet" that Chucky D (I'm sorry if some consider it blasphemous to take the Prophet's name in vain) actually suggested that the fossil record known in his day might not yet be considered to provide the best support to his original theory...

Back then, there was a LOT more cross-disciplinary work going on than there is now. Chuckie may not have been a practicing paleontologist/geologist, but he knew and corresponded with men who were.
