It is a record of the understanding of history and science of its time written in its time for people of its time.

If it were written for our times as Mr. Ham insists it was it would begin with "In the beginning there was nothing then Bang! God created light! Then some of the light became matter and some persists today as cosmic background radiation, the discovery of which lead to a Nobel prize, which people think is good, but God doesn't care because God cares about goodness and salvation and does not concern himself with science because he know all of that "why we are here" stuff already

In 50 years it would have to read something like "In the beginning, there were strings. The strings were looped into other parts of the multiverse and God saw this as a chance to materialize this portion of the infinite and ongoing realm of his reign.

The current state of human knowledge is a moving target. Expecting it to be covered in a 3,000 year old story, is a fantasy.
