"They believed that mountains, hills, and other features were as old as the Earth itself, and were changed only when water sloshed over them during periods of global flooding."
This quote is interesting because it really shows how much that people have learned over the years. It is strange to think about how once apon a time people believed that the tides had never changed and everything had always been as it is now, and that the world was flat and did not revolve around the sun. It makes you wonder how little we really know now. If it had not been for people like Newton, we would still be convinced that the world was a completely different place than it really is.
