I expect to see more of these types of preemptive shifts by the church to counter the eventual contradictions to their doctrine.

Ironically it can be looked at as dogmatic evolution. I humbly predict that this will become much more commonplace as advanced technology reveals more and more about the makeup and genesis of the universe. Look for some real good information to come out of the new European super collider. -Bob
