...as it may turn out that reality and the old religious texts don't quite agree with each other.
Heh. A friend of mine (who is doing a Physics major) is a born-again Christian and a preacher in his community. A really nice guy. Every once in a while, he lets us in on how great the Bible is. The Bible apparently tells about the sea currents, the big bang and it even prevents the mass of all electrons in the university (or a similar quantity - I have to confess I've forgot what it was, but it was in a verse that spoke of "all the dust of earth").
I'm absolutely certain he will not find any phenomenon in modern day physics that would somehow be against the Bible. Which is fine by me. He seems to be confident in his faith and have a pretty consistent view of the world.
The only thing that bugs me is that it's all coming from someone else - it's not like he discovered that the sentence in the Bible was describing the big bang. Then again, most of what I hold to be true is coming from someone else. I doubt anybody can do all of the thinking himself without ever being influenced by others... it's just a nice ideal. I'll admit I'm not living up to it
