One of the new theorists was John Woodward, Gresham professor of physics and an expert on fossils. In his An Essay toward a Natural History of the Earth (1695), Woodward put the miracle back into the Flood, but in a wholly novel way – he said that when the rains came, God temporarily suspended gravity, and so waters boiled up out of the deep, and the entire Earth became a thick soup of dissolved rock, water, and living things.
