Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theological and Literary Journal, Vol. 5: July, 1852-April, 1853 The two prevailing theories of the present time are - lat, That which attributes all geological phenomena to such effects [operations] of existing causes as we now witness; and 2d, That which considers them referable to a series of catastrophes, or sudden revolutions. The difference in the two theories is not in reality very great; the question being merely one of intensity of forces, so that probably by uniting the two we should approximate nearer to the truth.
