Okay. Where did Hutton go wrong, and how would that change the currently accepted estimates?

Hutton's lengthy tome was a laughingstock, given no consideration or credibility in his era. He was the late 18th century equivalent of Al Gore. He was immediately tagged an atheist.

Hutton was cherry-picked out of comparative obscurity in hindsight, in order to rationalize greater and greater geological age, which in turn allowed rationalization of the truly epic time line required for macroevolutionary speciation.

Throwing around perjoratives doesn’t answer where he went wrong in his theories, and will not do anything to help advance creation science. You are only damaging your own position.
