How does Ryle criticize the mistakes of catastrophe theory in his book Principles of Geology?

In his book Principles of Geology, Ryle criticized the mistakes of catastrophism on the basis of a large number of facts. He believes that the earth has a very long history, and human beings are just passers-by on the earth. In all the changes of the earth, the laws of nature are always consistent. According to the natural forces and laws that are still at work, we can infer the past of the earth. This is the principle and method of "consistency between ancient and modern" and "discussing the present from ancient times". Ryle believes that the reason for the change of the earth's surface is not supernatural force at all, but the geological action that people are still seeing, and it is the continuity of this action that leads to the gradual and long evolution of the stratum. In this way, the supernatural power of catastrophe was expelled from geology.
