I doubt it'll be as easy as that. Religious fundamentalisim is pretty vocal and touchy-feely about material that attacks their beliefs and ideoloogies. They will find a way to somehow voice their feelings on this mater, which I predict would include some mud-slinging on the credibility of the scientists involved in this research, and a call to some crusade they'll pull out of their heads.
However, I believe in the human capacity to simply look at these things objectively and as they are regardless of the discovery's impact on religious dogma, I just hope this doesn't turn into a conflicting zone for another science vs. religion debate.
