Sequence stratigraphy has, to a notable extent, supplanted traditional uniformitarian stratigraphy. Some creationist geologists have embraced sequence stratigraphy as a singular opportunity for the redemption of the science of geology, while others have rejected it as the latest mutation in uniformitarian thinking. Still others remain unaware of the principles of this approach or undecided as to its merits. To properly evaluate the scientific validity of sequence stratigraphy and its applicability to geologic research within the context of a Biblical worldview one must have a basic understanding of the philosophy of science.
