Good post, but in America religion is reality.

No, its existence is, its scripture is not.

"Darwinian evolution is so yesterday", posted by a fervent believer in events which allegedly happened around two millenia ago. That is off the irony scale.

Then rationally you are in the universe but unwilling to accept the failing of Life here on Earth: quite interpretable.

I have to say that I don't usually reply to posts when the OP cannot make their point in question within their provided text. Leading the forum off to other sites is requesting a lot of people in busy times.

So, I will reply to the title:

All scientific discovery becomes outdated, as the new discoveries that it enables are made known. That doesn't negate the strength or contribution of the discovery. Science is empirical -- each level provides a basis for the next. Sometimes we discover that the base premise is incorrect, but we still have to follow the path it led us to in order to know that error.
