Anybody should be able to tell there's something very wrong with Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity and General Relativity, as well as similar theories like String Theory, because they basically are asserting that beneath it all, everything is chaos. I don't see how you can get any more "modern" or revolutionary or anti-Christ than that.
If you're going to "compromise" and say, well there's a spiritual order, but not a physical order, then you're pretty much saying, in "the real world" or "the physical world," religion does not apply. That would obliterate a lot more than Transubstantiation in the general culture.
A culture where living it up on Saturday night and holy roller on Sunday morning, is not hypocrisy or scandal, but rather, just an expression of the culture.
Or, aborting your child on a Friday at the clinic and going to church on Sunday jive, because the child is a physical being and hence, ultimately nothing more than a chaotic swirling mess of atoms and protons, which are basically nothing and hence, don't really matter. On the other hand, church is something "spiritual" and hence, unconnected to anything physical, including babies, as well as, who you do and do not have sex with and wether you charge interest on loans or not!
So, it seems to me, either Einstein is right or Christ is, but not both.
On a side note, I doubt that atomic energy and atomic bombs have much to do with Einstein's theories of Relativity, other than perhaps to morally justify the usage of nuclear weapons, where traditional morality would seem to prohibit it.
