Religions often try to propagate an illusion of eternal orthodoxy.  
But they evolve anyway.  Examples from Islam: the development of the
Sunni/Shi'a split; al-Ashawi's scholasticism; the development of Sufism and 
other sects; liberalizing movements under European colonial influence; 
modern fundamentalism coming in on the return to independence.
