James Hutton was one of first people to put forward the idea that the earth was much older than what it said in The Bible. He did not put an actually age on it because he lacked the relevant data.

Before Hutton the church said that the earth was 6,000 years old,created on October 13th mid-afternoon but when Hutton,a Scottish farmer began studying rocks he came to a place called Sickly Point,where he discovered the earth must be atleast a few million years old,so he started the study of rocks,geology
James huttons discovery was the theory of the Earth. His disovery made an idia that fusion of sediments worse by the great heat which James believed the exist beneath the lower regions of the earths crust.
Geologists and other related Earth scientists have estimated the age of the Earth to be approximately 4.65 Billion years old based on a wide variety of scientific experiments and data.
As Hutton made observations about the rocks in the area where he lived, he began to find clues that most changes on earth happen slowly, and that earth must therefore be very old.
James Hutton was born on June 14, 1726 and died on March 26, 1797. James Hutton would have been 70 years old at the time of death or 289 years old today.

Hutton and Lyell
Hutton and Lyell's view of the earth was that it was over 6,000 years old, and no others at that time did not believe so.

James Brian Hutton, Baron Hutton, is 86 years old (birthdate: June 29, 1931).(*some sources list 1932)US director Brian G. Hutton (Kelly's Heroes) was 79 years old when he died on August 19, 2014 (born January 1, 1935).
He formed a hypothesis that Earth is millions of years old, not just a couple thousand. This is enough time for evolution to occur within a species.
they had many different answers to it they showed that earth was fromed by natural forces and how awesome geological features could be built or torn down over long periods of time
