The question/problemmatic part about current stuff is who decides what counts as "current mythology". Even scientific doctrine is disproven (cause that's the best part about science).

Now, I totally see Historical mythology being a great class.

I mean, dude comes back from the dead, dude lives in the belly of whale, snakes talk, all animals on earth on a boat........Do we really need laboratories and Phd's to pore over these matters to call them mythology? I think science has more pressing matters to deal with rather than debunk fairytales. No?
