Got what right? Scientifically? Nope. The ancient Egyptians had evidence of the sun existing but that didn't mean they knew the chemical makeup of it, nor did their ability to point to the sun make their sun god "Ra" a real god. The ancient Greeks were the first to coin the word "atom" and use it, but that didn't mean they knew what a electron, proton or neutron were. Back then "atom" merely meant "the tiniest thing one could imagine".
I'd advise atheists when debating to be reminded that every major religion has members that like to reach back in time, after the fact, to retrofit science to clearly ambiguous language that does not demonstrate any hint of modern knowledge. Muslims and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists all try to retrofit science to their writings after the fact, Christians are not the only ones who pull that tactic.
