Could a myth become science?
They shouldn't. There are rather rigorous methodological guidelines when arriving at an answer to explain the data you've gathered, and that is in turn ripped apart by experts in your field. Myths, on the other hand, may have their internal logic, but they don't explain things, and don't offer any understanding of processes. Myths also are untestable, which makes it not science. On a different note, it is possible however for common knowledge or folk knowledge to be confirmed by science.
