Hi Len,

Not at all. The laws of nature haven't changed. Our understanding has. Just as the laws of nature have remained consistent and true so have the truths revealed in the Bible. That man is flawed/incomplete (or willfully ignorant) doesn't mean that the laws of nature are nor that the Bible is. Perhaps as man has learned more about nature's truths (that remain consistent throughout), so might he learn more about God's truths as they have remained equally consistent.

Like I would suggest that in order to learn more about any given scientific area you would need to apply yourself more I would also make the same suggestion regarding spiritual issues.

Your ignorance of these issues is no proof of the non-existence of God or the truths in the Bible.

You are quite correct though that man's interpretations have changed and are often quite contradictory with revealed truth, whether in the biological, astrophysical, medical, mechanical or spiritual arenas. The underlying truths haven't changed one bit, only man's level of knowledge. The same method is required to 'fix' this issue IMO.

Study and learn with an open mind.
Best,
