When they confront science, which chages according to new data (although old boys fight like hell to keep the overturned hypothesis that gave them their PhDs), the religious feel like they're standing on quicksand.

They have to think they have found the one true god, usually by being born into that religion, and anything but hilarity ensues, although that's what should ensue.
