Unless you are a biblical literalist, you have to twist the meaning of biblical texts to fit your modern understanding of the world. When new knowledge challenges preexisting beliefs, relatively moderate theists need to move the goalposts for themselves- that is, reinterpret biblical text to fit their new knowledge. So moving goalposts is something that is done so often within their own thinking that it becomes second nature, something they can no longer even see.
Thoughts?
