I think it is a Straw man because Uniformitarian assumption is untenable is a weak and invented argument set up simply to be easily refuted because it tries to say that modern old earth proponents and scientists believe in 19th century uniformitism which states that catastrophic events never happened when on the contrary contemporary old earth proponents believe in modern uniformitism which states that although much of the earth's geological landscape is the result of slow gradual change catastrophic events such as the KT event or the Permian-Triassic Extinction event have happened in geologic history and have influenced both life on earth and the shape of the geologic landscape in the present.--Fang 23 20:48, 24 June 2007 (BST)
