"Time to rewrite the biology textbooks."

Again? How many times do we have to do this? Won't the theory of Evolution ever get it right? Seems like it changes about 10 times a year! Has the Bible ever changed?

Has the Bible ever changed?

Yes, certainly.

It started with a few books, several thousand years ago, and kept changing, book by book, until a bunch of people got together and declared it was finished and done changing.

And then later on, another bunch of people got together and declared the earlier bunch of people didn't have it quite right, and they removed some bits the earlier bunch of people had included.

Or didn't you know this?

It took many centuries from its earliest writings for the Bible to be finalized in its current form. Forms, actually, since Jews, Catholics, Protestants (and also Mormons) all disagree on which books are included. By comparison, the theory of evolution only originated around 150 years ago. So it's had much less time to assume its final form than the Bible has had to assume its final forms.
