You've had millennia to think this shit through, yet all evidence points to a continual invention.
Continual invention implies adding new things. I do not think that is the case.
Couple of reasons some doctrines might have changed over the past 2000 years:
- Advances in philosophy in general and philosophy of religion specifically.
- Advances in natural theology and its importance.
- Advances in our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
- Decentralization of theological thought. Now we have many more sects and denominations that bring out variations in thought and prompt reexamination of ideas.
