There always have been a few wingnuts in every organization. Dominionism, pre-millenialism, and post millenialism are not new ideas BUT the level of acceptance into the religious "mainstream" IS new. For that matter, fundamentalism goes in and out of vogue, and the things which are accepted as "fundamental" have surprising fluidity as well.

An aside: I have a very close family member with an Undergrad in Biology and a Masters in a Scientific Field who now doubts evolution (and loves those "Left Behind" books)
