Some [[Young earth creationism|young earth creationary]] geologists use the nomenclature of the system whilst not accepting the uniformitarian dates attached to the system which places the age of the earth as being billions of years old.<ref>"Creationists use the same naming system, although do not accept the uniformitarian belief that the geologic column represents eons of time", Batten, Don, quoted in Sarfati, Jonathan, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/2280 More nonsense from Professor Plimer]</ref><ref>Morris, 1973.</ref> <ref>Geologic time scale</ref>

Other young earth creationists assert that geological column does not exist and cite secular scientists who state the argumentation advocating the geological column involves circular reasoning. <ref>Woodmorappe, 1999</ref> <ref>Northside Church of Christ</ref>

Young earth creationist scientists use a geological system that more heavily relies on [[Catastrophism|catastrophism]] and reject the uniformitarian assumptions behind the dates derived by secular geologists, and thus reject these dates. In addition, [[Young earth creationism|young earth creationist]] scientists point out that catastrophism is increasingly being accepted in the field of geology. <ref>Roth, 1985</ref><ref>Morris, 1976</ref>
