Ignoring Advancements

The opening paragraph of this story about a religious right legal group seeking to "recover the robust Christendomic theology of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th centuries" is based on a point of view I always find difficult to understand.

The information available to us increases in quality over time as we make new discoveries about everything. It is a human failing to insist that the declarations of people from some point in the past--necessarily based on information that has long since been superseded--should remain in force.
