My cousin Horace who is a working scientist (tangentially involved with this discovery), as well as a church person (Presbyterian, if I'm not mistaken) informs me authoritatively that this discovery invalidates Sola Scriptura.

How could it? The bible makes no pretense to being a tell all of the mechanisms of nature.

To: Revolting cat!

I’m reminded of a verse of a familiar hymn (When I Survey The Wondrous Cross) that goes

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands myself, my soul, my all.

What physical scientists do has absolutely squat to do with the bible’s theological message (except that it is in pursuit of the general divine command to subdue the earth), and many devout Christians agree on some kind of old earth creationism rendering the most contended dispute well into the realm of common literary metaphor.
