Modern earth history taught in a geology curriculum today (and when I went to school in late 70's early 80's) teach "Actualism". We know there are disasters and catastrophic events. The rock record is replete with examples of mud slides, avalanches, volcanos, glaciation, floods, meteor impacts, disease, die offs, hurricanes, and the like. They just aren't occurring everywhere all at once. Sorry, Immanuel Velikovsky.

Actualism is the reconciliation of Catastrophism and Gradualism. Both are true to some extent and Actualism recognizes this and coordinates it into a cogent, consistent theory, born out by the rock record.
