Uniformitarianism, the idea that geological processes operate at the same rates and in the same ways as they do today, faced skepticism because it challenged the prevailing belief in catastrophism, which emphasized sudden, dramatic events shaping the Earth. Many scientists were reluctant to accept this new perspective due to the lack of empirical evidence and the deeply ingrained views of Earth's history. Additionally, the concept required a significant shift in thinking about time scales, as it suggested that geological changes occur over vast periods, which was difficult for many to grasp at the time.

Why do scientist should be open minded?
Because if scientists aren't open-minded, they could try to discredit or change the results of a valid experiment, or not accept a theory that may actually be right, and discredit the theory, therefore stopping progress in science.

Why might a scientists theory might not be believed even if it correct?
A scientist's theory might not be believed even it is correct, if the theory is such a radical departure from existing beliefs that it seems bizarre. The theory of continental drift (which, of course, was eventually accepted) was resisted for decades because it just seemed obvious to people that the continents are not drifting, since we do not notice any such motion. It could also happen that a scientist has a valid theory but has not adequately explained, or experimentally tested that theory. Other scientists require evidence in order to accept a theory.
