PShh. I wish.
I had to learn about the Dirac sea of electrons, and the Bohr atomic model as well as plenty of physics history.
You still have to learn about Freud's nonsense?

Sounds like you're trying to make religion and science somehow be similar or do the same thing, and they just don't. There's no reason religion should be updating their stories. Those stories are parables of human nature. The only reason to change them is if human nature changes. I'm not saying it never will, but everything I've learned about anthropology sounds pretty relate-able. The stories in the Bible are often outlandish, but still totally relatable.
