The catastrophist viewpoint (but not the immutability of species) was challenged by the English geologist Sir Charles Lyell in his three-volume work Principles of Geology (1830-1833). Lyell maintained that Earth’s surface is undergoing constant change, the result of natural forces operating uniformly over long periods.
