"The idea of God is currently fixed because we've reached a point that hasn't been improved upon for 2009 years. "
fr0d0 the idea of God far exceeds 2009 years and it's history is multifarious. First there was polytheism, then Judaism turned it into a monotheism and it has been constantly changing to this day. This history is just focusing on supernatural beings but as you know man has worshipped nature, animals,dead ancestors, man himself, the planets, etc. It is evident through this history of religion that as man progresses in knowledge god begins to change to accomodate the times.
When I read the bible and study theology on the characteristics of God I dont see a supernatural being, I see a reflection of the imagination of man. I see man himself elevated to the position of a God. The bible states that man was created in the image of God but I see God created in the image of man. God is jealous, angry, sad, at times vain all of these are negative emotions and traits of man. I hope this explains my position somewhat. Science aside I see religion in general as mythology and find no difference between mythology and theism.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
