Not Telling
Posted by Right or wrong is not, in this case, a binary choice. It is possible for things to be more right than others. Or, if you prefer, more useful.
The current scientific model is better, it isn't perfect.
Cultural reletavism has nothing to do with it.
To maintain belief in an outdated model, simply because the newer one isn't as good as the one that will come after it, is absurd.
It's very hard to defend a point that I don't personally agree with haha. In this case I have to give in, it is absolutely absurd to not be willing to change your beliefs even though the evidence around you is changing. Grant me this, if some miracle evidence of God and Jesus was to fall from the sky, it would again be possible for that story to be more "right". (I know that's an irrelevant point as far as this discussion goes, just roll with it)
No!
Because that's what the evidence dictates.
Obviously, as time passes, more evidence will accumulate, but that's not the salient point. It is an aside.
I can't agree with you here. The evidence is based on the time period, and the belief is based on the evidence. Therefore, the belief is based on the time period.
