"Oh that was the old doctrine, as I now understand it, what Moses/Jesus/Dali Lahma/Joseph Smith actualy meant was..."

150 years from today...

"No, no, no. Those were a primitive people, and they tried to understand their religion to the best of their know how within the context of their times. But they simply did not have the technology and science that we have today. If they were alive today, they would have known that..."

150 years from then...

"We leave the developement of character, life's principles, etc. to religion. But we reserve creation, afterlife, and nature for science. God? ... who's that? ... oh cool a history lesson. I love history!"
