Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Uniformitarianism shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Uniformitarianism offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Uniformitarianism at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Uniformitarianism? Wrong! If the Uniformitarianism is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Uniformitarianism then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Uniformitarianism? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Uniformitarianism and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

Uniformitarianism has had two separate meanings, both more prevalent in 19th-century discourse:

• Within religious philosophy, Uniformitarianism ("with a capital U") is the belief that the Universe has existed as it is now for an infinite time and will continue to exist for ever. This view is opposed to traditional theological views and modern science.

• Within scientific philosophy, uniformitarianism (science) ("with a small u") refers to the principle that the same processes that shape the universe occurred in the past as they do now, and that the same laws of physics apply in all parts of the knowable universe. This axiomatic principle, not often referred to as an "-ism" in modern discussions, is particularly relevant to geology and other sciences on a long timescale such as astronomy and paleontology. The leading geologist of Darwin’s era, a Scot named Charles Lyell (1797 – 1875), incorporated James Hutton’s gradualism into a theory known as uniformitarianism. The term refers to Lyell’s idea that geological processes have not changed throughout Earth’s history. Thus, for example, the forces that build mountains and erode mountains and the rates at which these forces operate are the same today as in the past.

Criticism of Geologic Uniformitarianism The present is the key to the past. Geologic uniformitarianism is often contrasted with Catastrophism, which postulates that natural processes have not always acted at the rates or in the manner that we now observe, but may have been different in the past, and may have been punctuated by certain catastrophic events like the global flood recorded in the Bible. Notably, most Young Earth Creationists are Catastrophists, and criticize uniformitarian geology for assuming long periods of time for geologic processes, when such events as the eruption of Mount St. Helens and Providence Canyon State Park may indicate that much shorter periods better explain the geological strata.
