Causation and Correlation Part III (offthebeatenfoottap) "Italians and of Hutton; and the former, aided by a marvellous power of clear exposition, placed upon an irrefragable basis the truth that natural causes are competent to account for all events, which can be proved to have occurred, in the course of the secular changes which have taken place during the deposition of the stratified rocks. The publication of 'The Principles of Geology,' in 1830, constituted an epoch in geological science. But it also constituted an epoch in the modern history of the doctrines of evolution, by raising in the mind of every intelligent reader this question: If natural causation is competent to account for the not-living part of our globe, why should it not account for the living part?" - Thomas Henry Huxley, The Advance of Science in the Last Half-Century #science #philosophy #music #art #artist #guitar #guitarist #musician #instaart #insstartist #classicalguitar #acoustic #riff #jam #fingerpicking #leadguitar #beats #infp #instrumental #southernartists #asheville #upstatesc #charlanta #appalachia #visionaryart #outsiderart

Causation and Correlation II "Those who wish to seek out the cause of miracles and to understand the things of nature as philosophers, and not to stare at them in astonishment like fools, are soon considered heretical and impious, and proclaimed as such by those whom the mob adores as the interpreters of nature and the gods. For these men know that, once ignorance is put aside, that wonderment would be taken away, which is the only means by which their authority is preserved." - Baruch Spinoza, Ethics #guitar #guitarist #musician #instaart #insstartist #classicalguitar #acoustic #acousticguitar #riff #jam #fingerpicking #leaddguitar #improv #beats #infp #instrumental #southernartists #carolina #charlanta #appalachia #outsiderart

Causation and Correlation The careful observations and the acute reasonings of the Italian geologists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; the speculations of Leibnitz in the ‘Protogaea’ and of Buffon in his ‘Théorie de la Terre;’ the sober and profound reasonings of Hutton, in the latter part of the eighteenth century; all these tended to show that the fabric of the earth itself implied the continuance of processes of natural causation for a period of time as great, in relation to human history, as the distances of the heavenly bodies from us are, in relation to terrestrial standards of measurement. The abyss of time began to loom as large as the abyss of space. And this revelation to sight and touch, of a link here and a link there of a practically infinite chain of natural causes and effects, prepared the way, as perhaps nothing else has done, for the modern form of the ancient theory of evolution. - Thomas Henry Huxley, The Advance of Science in the Last Half-Century #guitar #guitarist #musician #instaart #insstartist #classicalguitar #acoustic #acousticguitar #riff #jam #fingerpicking #leaddguitar #improv #beats #instrumental #southernartists #carolina #charlanta #appalachia #outsiderart #visionaryart #evolution
