How about everything? Has our understanding of nature not evolved in every conceivable fashion?
Steady state ---> Expanding Universe ---> Big Bang ---> Inflationary Universe
Earth, Fire, Air, Water, Phlogiston ---> Periodic Table of the Elements
Gravity as the 'desire' of an object to approach it's most perfect natural state ---> Newtonian Gravity ---> General Relativity ---> Supergravity? ---> M-Theory??? ---> ?????
Evil spirits cause disease ---> Germ Theory
(on a related note - Leprosy = curse from God curable only by miracle ---> condition curable w/ antibiotics)
Man created a few thousand years ago ---> Evolution over hundreds of millions of years
It goes on and on...
