thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Just to put minds at rest, there were two British Adam Sedgwicks in natural science! The subject of this article was Old Adam, whereas the other was Young Adam. Young Adam was a distant relative, grand-nephew-ish. Any references in letters after 1873 must be to young Adam Sedgwick, zoologist, 1854--1913. OK? Macdonald-ross (talk) 19:16, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two Sedwicks 

message: Philip Henry Gosse used Sedgwick, alongside Lyell, as a target in his notorious work Omphalos (1857), in which he unsuccessfully attempted to "untie the geological knot" by reconciling old earth creationism with studies suggesting the earth was much older than previously thought. Admittedly much of Gosse's criticism veers towards personal attack rather than anything constructive, but there are several passages where he attempts to evaluate the "flaws" with Sedgwick's own work. Anybody feel it's worth mentioning, or is it too minor a detail for inclusion? Absurdtrousers (talk) 19:21, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
