The solution to this quandary was proposed by Baron George Cuvier, a French biologist. In a work published in 1812, Cuvier said there had been a series of disasters-Noah's flood being only the most recent. With each disaster, God perfected the animals that he restocked.

But it had to be conceded that Cuvier's proposal indicated a lot of trial and error for an otherwise perfect God.

Meanwhile, another theory had been proposed that better corresponded with the observable world. It was developed by James Hutton in 1795, and revived after his competition for food, in reproduction, and in defense against predators survive to produce more offspring. Over many generations, in response to changes in the environment, species change and develop into whole new species.

Darwin published his "Origin of the Species" in 1859, after being contacted by Alfred Russel Wallacewho had come to similar conclusions through independent research. The book's first printing of 1250 copies sold out in the first day. Now the debate with the creationists was really on!
