It is NOT controversial
The fact that many people refuse to learn basic facts of biology, geology, archeology, etc does not a controversy make.
Think about Bryce's arguments over OO. The fact that he argues about it obstinantly doesn't mean that there is any real controversy about what he is arguing about.
This is similar. There is no serious scientific argument. And the world view the Creationists are pushing was, as I have mentioned before, discredited before Darwin when it was demonstrated that there had been no great world flood covering England in the last few thousand years, but there had been a series of Ice Ages. (This was shown about 180 years ago.)
