Isn't That Crazy
I just emailed my professor, have to do a project on the evolution of religion next semester which I chose because I thought it would be fun, but then realised recently that I have to assume that religion evolves to cater to the man's evolving needs and I realised that I couldn't write around that assumption! Argh! So I wrote a pompous letter to my professor asking for help and advice and other possible topics. And here is a pompous excerpt -
"As a Christian I believe that religion is based on truth and truth is unchanging, so I can't bring myself to do a project on the evolution of religion. I don't think truth adapts to fulfill the needs of man, but I do think everyone needs truth and is seeking for it, which is rather a different thing although this may not seem obvious at first glance."
I hope he doesn't think I'm pure barking mad.
Have been thinking about so many things over the last few days and gotten them sorted out in my head, at least - although not exactly sorted out in real life, it's a start that I've realised these things. Will write more next time if I have the time, but for now, I need to get started on studying. :-(

Real truth is absolute, and unchanging as you say. However the evolution of truth, is not truth changing, but more of it being discovered. It has always been there, it just takes the little people like us some time to explore it.
The truth will out.
