I think thats why muslims are seen as having such a difficult time in the West, because they do not want to allow the liberal development of society to infringe upon their religion.
Should religion be adaptive? I dont think there is room for that in the core commandments/tenants because by doing so, you would be in effect that God was wrong when he started it all.

Or is it that the people at the time's interpretation of God will/way was misinterpeted (or at best, suited to that time and place) - we have seen many examples of religions used/abused for peoples' own ends, and many of the so-called religious interpretations are often cultural biases imposed upon the religion (dietary, clothing, non-miscenegenation, etc) which then became part of the religions' ethos.
Just my thoughts, that's all.
