• There is abundant evidence to prove that it has passed through many phases of destruction, followed by renewal in the wise ways of God before man existed, and, in general, progressive in character.

Not only did the earth become corrupt and filled with violence, but a new violation of all order was perpetrated as in Genesis 6:1-2, most abhorrent to God and deeper than any natural depravation, which was the immediate occasion of the deluge.
