Correct. Yet since then, followers appeal to and proselytize on the basis of an all-knowing and absolute source (bible)....that was not actually all-knowing. If it was, some parenthetical mention of the billions of years prior to humanity would have gotten a footnote in Genesis. But the people who wrote it were unaware of those billions of years...as you said....they wrote from what they knew.
And there were centuries where stating what is common knowledge now could get me arrested and put to death....in Christendom.

And John...Don't lose sight of the forest due to the wonderment of the trees. You'll get lost. wink I think that it is an excellent question. Comical and piercing at the same time.
