Cheese, I think you are being a little general. You seem to think that all Christians are fundamentalists who would never accept the idea of not taking the Bible literally.

In fact, most Christians already do not take the Bible literally. Not even the Catholic Church (which represents more than 50%) takes the Bible literally and hasn't for a long time.

It's funny how religious people seem to get flack from both sides. If they refuse to adapt and show versatility as society and knowledge changes, then they are seen as stubborn and outdated. When they do show versatility, they are trounced on for admitting that they have been wrong in the past.
