As Maynard Keynes put it: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"
But I don't like the word fundamentalist used as Mark uses it. I think it should be used to refer to the movement in favor of "the fundamentals" of Christianity that started, if memory serves, at the Princeton Theological Seminary in the 1920s. That some calling themselves "fundamentalists" may be deplorable does not mean the idea behind fundamentalism is deplorable. We should try to go easy on the pejoratives.
