In the early 19th century, if you were a geologist and made a claim about the age of the Earth, you had to explain whether that was consistent or how it was or wasn't consistent with the age of the Earth implied by the account in Genesis.
Di awal abad 19, sebagai geologis yang ingin menakar usia bumi ini, Anda harus menjelaskan apa atau bagaimana klaim anda sejalan dengan usia bumi di kitab Kejadian.
