Which scientist's theory did Buckland eventually see as a better explanation than the biblical flood?
Charles Darwin
Louis Agassiz
Isaac Newton
Leonardo Da Vinci
Answer
Buckland eventually saw Louis Agassiz's theory of glaciation as a better explanation for the geologic evidence he was studying. Agassiz's theory was that glaciers had covered large parts of the Earth in the past, and that this was the cause of the eroded landscapes and fossilized animals that Buckland was finding.
