How the heck did you get that out of what I said? Noone's rewriting Genesis
or changing reality. INTERPRETATIONS I said. There are a number of ways to
interpret both Genesis and reality, meaning that whatever data is found in
and about each allows for multiple views.

Religion itself can change through changing its interpretations based on
whatever it considers holy writings, in the case we're discussing, the Bible
and Genesis. The actual books won't be rewritten.
