These religious principles stood in opposition to the modernist movement and espoused the strict adherence to and faith in religious “fundamentals”.’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalism)

It is also the case that, the further you look into the discussions, work and conclusions of the Royal Society, the more obvious it becomes that its distinguished members very quickly came to an understanding that the Biblical account of creation was so at variance with the observed evidence that to treat it as anything other than metaphor and allegory would be foolish. Thus, if they were in any sense ‘fundies’ as you claim (and I dispute), they soon abandoned such a narrow literalist belief-system in the face of the overwhelming evidence against it.
