I know a story which is illuminating. Apparently Islam started out as a religion where one could only have one wife. Apparently Mohammed found that didn't sell very well, so he changed the number of wives from one to four.
If one has the supposedly revealed truth straight from God's mouth, one doesn't chop and change. This is marketing. To my knowledge, God doesn't do that.
