I'm not sure who posted this comment, but I just wanted to add that the 
Catholic church is an excellent example of this. In 1633 Galileo was 
forced by the church to recant heliocentric material he wrote. 
Fast-forward; A couple  the pope stated that evolution didn't contradict 
the bible, and the other day he stated that alien life was perfectly 
fine as well. I have to give Benedict XVI credit - at least he's making 
an attempt to stay ahead of the curve.
