I almost made that same comment Maelstrom but the more I thought about it I came to the conclusion that religions, as created and modified by man, are adapting their stories as science progresses. Almost everytime science makes a new discovery existing religions spin the new information so as to make it seem like it still fits their narrative. It adapts it's message.
