I have this discussion all too often as I have studied astrophysics for many years. In order to avoid repeating the same old arguments I would just like to raise a point to you. Ultimately, you claim that the fault in modern physics is the lack of any absolute. While this may be true, thanks to recent discoveries involving the stopping of light, the bible presents absolutely no grounds to claim it as an absolute. It is blind faith that provides this absolute, with no grounds whatsoever. So while you are attempting to present a logical argument, you are in fact contradicting yourself by claiming that we cannot blindly follow physic discoveries and yet we can blindly follow stories. As stephen malkmus says, "No more absolutes".
