Clic texts such as THE GENESIS FLOOD (Whitcomb & Morris) were probably the first opportunity for Creationist Christians to encounter the term "uniformitarianism". In that book the concept was derided as a fallacy of modern science. Yet, since that time hasn't Young Earth Creationism promoted a lot of uniformitarian arguments (e.g. rates of change behind seawater salinity, dust layer on the moon, He 4) as reasons to believe that the earth is young? Put in another way, when is uniformitarianism to be considered reliable and when not for purposes of essing the age of the earth?
