"I'm sure that if it was proven beyond any doubt that Jesus did not physically rise from the grave, that people would rationalize that, too"

I can't respond to that because I don't think it can be proven unless time travel is possible.

Indeed there are those who blend the bible with current scientific knowledge. It doesn't mean there views on religion or science is right or wrong. I'm just saying that as science advances, it does cause people to look at deeper meanings in the bible or discover things that haven't been found before. But even before the age of the earth was dated, there were those who suggested that the earth was older than 6000 years who were also strong Christians. Notice that the history of man is 6000 years old, not the earth. With scriptures to back up the "God days", it is pretty convincing to belief the earth was created in a longer time than 24 hour days.
