Science is flexible. Fundamentalism is not. There are different versions of fundamental Christianity but within each one the creeds must remain. If we developed a time machine and saw that the important creeds were false the religion would diffuse. Or return to Judaism? When a scientific fact is proven wrong science changes the books and grows stronger.
A liberal version of Christianity that concedes that the creeds MAY be just spiritual poetry/metaphors, and that the things in the Bible that promote violence may be disregarded would have no problem continuing. I don't really remember how this is relevant to this discussion.
