William Buckland Quotes:
Ocupation: Geologist
Life: March 12, 1784 - August 14, 1856
Birthday: March 12
Death: August 14
Geology has shared the fate of other infant sciences, in being for a while considered hostile to revealed religion; so like them, when fully understood, it will be found a potent and consistent auxiliary to it, exalting our conviction of the Power, and Wisdom, and Goodness of the Creator.
