My thoughts is, the difference being whether we find the earth / universe to be ordered & rational, using the same reason we use to make things & play football... Or whether there's a seeming deceptiveness to Creation..?
I know there may be times we need to have faith, trust, because we don't know (e.g. the future, or most of the universe).. But I'd expect in the fullness of things, correct interpretation of the Bible and Creation not to conflict. How literal each phrase in the Bible is, and how allegorical or cultural is, I'd imagine, the work of many lifetimes.
