Really GC, you look at the Milky Way at night and conclude there are only 6k stars there?

Or Omega Centauri globular star cluster - which was described in the ancient times - has 10 million stars.
Then again even if some scientists in ancient times believed there are 6k stars Bible was not written as something in line with science. Like a lot of people back then knew that Earth was a sphere and yet writers of the Bible thought it was flat. Or some ancient scientists started concluding that there are natural causes behind human diseases but not the writers of the Bible who still claimed human diseases were caused by demons and that praying and exorcism can heal people.
Also it is clear that writers of the Bible could not count the stars, like Jeremiah couldn't and he wrote in Jeremiah 33:22 "As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured"

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
