This I have a problem with... language evolves as does knowledge. For God to use modern day terms when speaking with the Jews 2000+ years ago, no one would have understood what he was saying. Instead he used words that had meaning then and have meaning now. The jist of it is the same, the specifics change. Why weren't dinosaurs in the Bible? (As an example...) Well, they'd never seen dinosaur bones. Why confuse them?
Is it changing the dogma, or is it using the things we now KNOW (that'd be where science comes in!) that we didn't know before to help explain what is written? You've apparently already decided it's changing the dogma, but perhaps that's too narrow a view of the Word.
