Natural Science (geology) after 1500 ADwas strongly influenced by Bible account of a Recent Creation & a Catastrophic Flood
Yet, there were a few famous doubters
1500 Early Renaissance Leonardo de Vinci: Questioning of Biblical Flood
Layered fossil rich rocks far from the Sea.1. too far from sea to have crawled2. some unbroken, not swept in3. fossil beds mixed with non fossil beds
Conclusion: Fossils beds not evidence of Noah’s Flood
And now finally, a Geological Textbook on Mining!!

Herbert and Lou Henry Hoover Observations on “De Re Metallica”
Herbert and Lou Henry Hoover Observations on “De Re Metallica”
Considering the part which the metallic arts have played in human history, the paucity of their literature down to Agricola’s time is amazing.
No doubt the (metallic) arts were jealously guarded by their practitioners as a sort of stock-in-trade, and it is probable that those who had knowledge were not usually of a literary turn of mind; and, on the other hand, the small army of writer prior to his time were not much interested in the description of industrial pursuits.

Hoovers on Iron and Bronze ages
The archaeologists’ divisions---Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages---may serve (them but) metallurgists have not hesitated to protest. No doubt (their ages) represent the sequence in which the metal objects are found, yet it by no means follows that was the order of their discovery. Note: p.420

Some Great Minds in Natural Science in the 1500 & 1600’s
Geology inMedieval and Renaissance Times
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) fossil shells are remains of once-living marine shell fish.
Georg Bauer (Agricola) (1494-1556) First mining textbook, “De Re Metallica”
Conrad Gesner 1565, “Fossils, Shells, & Gems
Medieval and Renaissance TimesSun, not Earth, Solar System Center
Copernicus, 1543.
Galileo, 1642
Sir Isaac Newton, 1687
Medieval and Renaissance Times1600’s Noah’s Flood responsible for all rocks and fossils.
Werner = NeptunismBurnet = CatastrophismWoodward = Fossils
1600’s Consensus: Job 12:10 “that the hand of the Lord hasdone all these things (NOT TOO LONG AGO)”
The Recent Creation of Earth
Bishop Ussher, 1452 to 1519
Biblical Chronology: Creation 4004 BC
Martin Luther: Comments on Genesis Creation
“When Moses writes that God created heaven and earth and whatever is in them in six days, then let this period continue to have been six days, and do not venture to devise any comment according to which six days were one day. But, if you cannot understand how this could have been done in six days, then grant the Holy Spirit the honor of being more learned than you are.”
Martin Luther: Comments on Genesis Creation

At the close of the 17th Century Natural Philosophy (geology) was inharmony with the Western Ecclesiastical,Political, & Economic Power Structure of the Time!
