Yep there has been a long clash between catastrophism and uniformitarianism largely built off of clashing perspectives mixed with of course religion. This conflict makes it hard for many people particularly older generations to come to terms with how these don't appear to be mutually exclusive rather it seems our universe is a mix of both driven by dynamical chaos.

I can only recommend "Science and Sanity" by Korzybski.
Essential reading IMHO for those wishing to understand what (firstly) what they, themselves, are saying and, (secondly) what others are saying.
"The map is not the territory"
What one says is not what one means?
