George Cuvier was one of the first to put a solid argument together that dismantled the long standing belief that the Great Flood explained the geological mysteries. He was creationist who set out to explain the Great Flood, but in the end decided it just didn't fit. Instead he decided that the earth was formed by several major events that radically reshaped the earth, the Great Flood being the latest of the major events. Although a creationist, another man, Charles Lyell, opened a major door for Darwin and the idea of organic evolution. Charles Lyell, a Scotsman in the early 19th century was a geologist who read the rocks differently than people had in the past. He believed that instead of several major events (such as the Great Flood) shaping the earth, that it was shaped very gradually by events that we see everyday such as rain. In other words Lyell believed that the present was the key to the past. This new approach to geology became know as Uniformitarianism. The reason this beneficial to the idea of evolution is because it greatly expanded the age of the earth, creating the idea of deep time.
