    Hello Marsha / Erin, all:

    In a very real way, despite the history of
    a dogma, a living religion is only as old
    as the individuals who choose to practice
     it, today. It's social expression changes.

    e.g.
    Science is more readily embraced by
    most clergy than the set of medieval
    superstitions of their predecessors.
    (obvious exceptions...)

    thanks--mel
