Soon geologists would unearth compelling evidence for multiple catastrophes, each of
which ended a distinct period of earth history. As nagging questions and alternative ideas
began to reshape how Christians interpreted the story of Noah's Flood, natural philosophers
shifted gears in looking for geological evidence of it. The search for Noah's Flood moved
from rocks into the overlying deposits of unconsolidated sediments that lay scattered across
Earth's surface.
