The man whose ideas most closely resemble the sentence would be Lyell - geological processes would take millions of years.

The reason is that neither of the other people in this case - Malthus, Lamarck or Hutton would be heard saying any of the mentioned things and only Lyell would be the man whose ideas were here the ones who are also true.
