Degradation:
By the Nineteenth Century, most of the liberal intelligentsia had rejected much of biblical revelation.
Atheist lawyer, Charles Lyell, launches all-out attack on biblical history, introducing the concept of uniformitarianism and no global flood by inventing an alternate story to compete what what God says happened. Lyell was not a good scientist but was an excellent lawyer, selling his story successfully to a degenerate church.
Darwin was born and raised as at least a third generation Atheist, attending church as a social exercise. Darwin was greatly influence by Charles Lyell's anti-biblical work.
