CC, nice collection of links. I could treat them like some kind of semester of science.
The one on plate tectonics (which I’ve only seen the summary so far), reminded of something I’m looking for. I read once that one of the earliest geologists, before that was even a thing, was a Christian who was looking to confirm the Biblical age of the earth. He was rigorous in his gathering of evidence and somewhere along the line had to admit the Bible was wrong, but he launched the science of geology in the process. I’m probably getting the story wrong, so I’m trying to find an account of it again. Or was that one of those bogus stories on the internet that I should just forget about?
