Final answer:
True. Like Hutton, Lyell argued that the Earth was much older than a few thousand years.
Step-by-step explanation:
True. Like Hutton, Lyell argued that the Earth was much older than a few thousand years. Hutton proposed that geological change occurred gradually over long periods of time through the accumulation of small changes from processes that are similar to those happening today. Lyell popularized Hutton's view and argued that a greater age of Earth gave more time for gradual change in species.
