<div style="font-family:'Times New Roman'">Development of the system was begun in the late 18th century, and the original divisions were Primary, Secondary, [[Tertiary]], and [[Quaternary]].  Later, dates were assigned to the divisions according to [[uniformitarianism (science)|uniformitarian]] beliefs about the age of the Earth, and the sections were further divided and subdivided.  The system is now divided into [[eon (geology)|eons]], [[era (geology)|eras]], [[period (geology)|periods]], and [[epoch (geology)|series or epochs]].

Dr. [[Jonathan Sarfati]] explains the relationship between sections of the geologic system and [[Theory of evolution|evolutionary]] belief:
 
−
{{quoteBox|The naming of the eras, in particular, now reflects evolutionary beliefs ([[Paleozoic|Palaeozoic]] / [[Mesozoic]] / [[Cenozoic|Cainozoic]]), but the period names ([[Ordovician]], [[Silurian]], [[Cambrian]], [[Cretaceous]], etc.) still generally do not. Thus, the naming of the geologic systems is not tied to the assigned ages and assignment of an ore body to a particular geologic system does not necessarily define its absolute age.<ref>Sarfati, Jonathan, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/2280 More nonsense from Professor Plimer]</ref>}}</div>
