| REVOLUTIONS IN THE EARTH James Hutton and the True Age of the World Stephen Baxter The gripping story of a scientific quest and a man beyond his time In 1650, the theologian and scholar Bishop James Ussher announced that the world was created on 23 October 4004BC. This date had been carefully calculated by adding together all the ages and reigns of the monarchs recorded in the Bible. In the eighteenth century, James Hutton set out to prove him wrong. A gentleman farmer with legal and medical training, Hutton was fascinated with the natural landscape and in particular with rock formations. He was also surrounded by some of the most brilliant men of his day. Looking at the irregular strata in the layers of the earth, Hutton deduced that the world must be much, much older than Ussher's prediction. His revelation was blasphemy - but it was also one of the most extraordinary moments in history, forming the framework for Darwin's theory of evolution, and shaping our modern view of the world.
