This is a problem with concordism in general. Look at how well the Rambam
held up.

However, if you believe there is only one emes, and aren't ready to
simply dismiss or ignore whatever evidence we do have, then you would
feel there is a duty to keep on finding convergence. Not in the tenor
of "science finally caught up to Torah", more "see, the two needn't
contradict; you don't have to choose."

:-)BBii!
