The right answer is catastrophism.

Catastrophism is a scientific theory that attempts to rationally construct beliefs about the origin of the world and the evolution of species by highlighting the impact of short-lived, violent and unusual disasters.

Moreover, since the beginning of the twenty-first century, catastrophism has left the domain of the biological sciences and is explicitly the subject of various social, philosophical, and political theorizations.
