You might be able to take that as a sign of hope. Apparently dogma can 
change.

Some people praise science over religion because science adjusts to new 
ideas. For example, "Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons, 
period!" Except "Oops, particle physics says there's a lot more to it..."

Or "Force equals mass times acceleration ..."  Except "Darn, relativity 
says there's a lot more to it..."

Theology and religion have changed as well. Heck, it used to be that it 
was immoral for Christians to charge interest on loans! You don't hear 
much about that these days.

I anticipate other changes in the future - not that I'll necessarily be 
around to see them.
