When we look at the constellations, many of the figures that we see involve stars that are nowhere near each other. The Bible correctly stated that Pleiades was a cluster where the stars are in proximity, and that the stars in Orion are not. How did it know that?
This is the argument from ignorance, again. You're saying we don't know how they could have got this information, therefor you can make up that it was from God. If they had correct information, then determining how they got it is an entirely different matter. They don't get to just state it and have it be fact. If I knew something and you couldn't explain how I knew it, do I get to say it was from a magic talking frog? No. That is a further claim, which needs evidence.
