You get the occasional unmitigated disaster and then you move on. 256 is a boatload of bits, Should Be Enough For Anyone, birthday paradox or not.
And as someone mentioned, as soon as someone feels that a 256-bit planetary content store threatens the fabric of society, we just swap in a 512-bit hash instead, and the next cataclysmic collision will happen after the heat death of the universe.

It is just that religion of any form is a preservation of thought, and thought preserved for 2500 years will pretty likely be the thought of men in a society where women are their inferiors.
