	William Thomson - LoveToKnow 1911
		WILLIAM THOMSON (1819-1890), English divine, archbishop of York, was born on the 11th of February 1819 at Whitehaven, Cumberland.
		In this position his moderate orthodoxy led him to join Archbishop Tait in supporting the Public Worship Regulation Act, and, as president of the northern convocation, he came frequently into sharp collision with the lower house of that body.
		But if he thus incurred the hostility of the High Church party among the clergy, he was admired by the laity for his strong sense, his clear and forcible reasoning, and his wide knowledge, and he remained to the last a power in the north of England.

	Age of the Earth
		In a book published in 1654, not long before his death, Archbishop James Ussher (often spelt with one "s") of Armagh, Ireland, calculated from the Bible augmented by some astronomy and numerology that the Earth was created on October 23, 4004 BC.
		In 1862, the physicist William Thomson of Glasgow published calculations that fixed the age of the Earth at between 20 million and 400 million years.
		Huxley was correct, and in fact Thomson's estimates would prove far too short, but Thomson had at least attempted to root the debate in facts rather than speculation, and apply a little rigor to it.

		In the 1790s, the British naturalist William Smith pointed out that if two layers of rock at widely differing locations contained similar fossils, then it was very plausible that the layers were the same age.
		Thomson had attempted to root the debate in one set of facts; the geologists and evolutionists had used others; and ultimately the latter two groups were proven more correct.
		Soddy and Sir William Ramsay, then at University College in London, had just determined the rate at which radium produces alpha particles, and Rutherford proposed that he could determine the age of a rock sample by measuring its concentration of helium.

		Therefore, the naturalists were startled when Lord Kelvin (then the physicist William Thomson from Glasgow) determined in 1862 that the earth had formed somewhere between 20 and 400 million years ago.
		Darwin regarded Thomson as an "odious spectre" whose chronology was one of the shy naturalist's "sorest troubles." Darwin and other biologists had postulated that complex organisms would require much more than 40 million years to evolve.
		Thomson thought he had estimated conservatively, but he could not be certain of his values.

		A by-product of Thomson's attempt to fix quantitatively the age of the sun was that it also placed a very restricted limit on its future output of energy.
		Thomson's supposition that the sun's heat is produced by chemical reactions alone led inevitably to his warning that Time must have a stop; that even if the sun were made of a solid lump of high-grade coal it could not be expected to burn for a million or so years longer.
