Christianity doesn't really change. They still think that the banana is our worse nightmare and since peanut butter has never evolved into a monkey evolution is false.

    Bold of you to extrapolate from the subset you personally know to the entire concept. That's like saying Germanic languages haven't changed in a significant way because the only Germanic language you know is Icelandic (obviously not the case because you're writing in English, but it's just a simily anyway).
