The Statler Waldorf Balcony

[Anomalocaris]

Actually, I believe that Genesis was written during the Bronze age, but I see your point. I would add that using his logic, as light takes just 12,022 years to traverse Creation, the Biblically Correct Universe is a mere 1.7375 Trillion Cubic Light-years in volume, leaving the stars just billions of miles apart. No one will be Left Behind with Interstellar Travel a Done Deal!

I doubt Genesis was written down before the more civilized parts of the Mediterranean world was already 4-5 centuries into the iron age. Iron age in Eastern Mediterranean started in Anatolia in 13th century BC.

Extrapolating what further absurdities follows from the original absurdity is useless for enlightening one who would use high decibel white noise to defend original absurdity. Invincible ignorance can not be enlightened. White noise can not be reasoned with.
