Astronomers once thought Earth was the center of the Solar System. Scientists once thought the Earth was flat and that there was ether in space. They, too, were experts in their fields. They still had faulty models.

Yes. Science continues to learn, and when old models fail, they are rejected in favor of new models that are supported by new information. We know this. Science dumps whatever's demonstrated to be wrong, and sticks with what's demonstrated to be correct. That's why science is increasingly successful.

What's your point? That it's best to avoid learning anything, and to remain mired in creationism?
