R. F. Diffendal Jr. in his article “Earth in Four Dimensions: Development of the Ideas of Geologic Time and History” in Nebraska History presents the controversy fairly:
"To some extent the arguments about a short Earth history of a few thousand years versus a long history of billions of years are still going on today. Most natural scientists support the long history. However, some people including Richard Milton … support the idea of a short one."

We are now in the Renaissance of Catastrophism. In 1923 J Harlen Bretz advanced the concept that a great flood of water stormed through the Pacific Northwest. Forty years later, in 1963, the International Association for Quaternary Research met in the U.S. and sent a telegram to Bretz ending “We are now all catastrophists."
