Nippom I hope you realise that the link you have posted there is not a link to anything that could be viewed as credible science today. Ted Holden is a catastrophist which was a branch of scientific thinking in the early 19th century. It was something that evolved from the religious dogma of the 18th century, especially the tale of the great flood in the bible. It is opposed to the idea of evolution and supposes more of a succession of periods of fauna and flora on the planet that were wiped out by massive catastrophes. Although some great catastrophes have been identified in the history of the planet the theory as a whole does not stand up against how our understanding of the planet has developed since the early 19th century (our scientific understanding has moved on a bit since then!). It is a convenient theory for those of more religious backgrounds who can't (or won't) accept concepts like evolution but it is not a theory that is credible scientifically.
