Oh so you know today's science but, apparently, Abraham didn't know the science of his day. Abraham was too uneducated to know science and/or too stupid to count the stars in the sky when God told him "See if you can count the stars in heaven; thus will be your seed" to say "So 6 thousand, eh." Especially when in the same breath God said "and as sand on seashore" Abraham was too stupid to ask "So which one? Is it 6000 like stars or more like sand?"
But the thing is that idea of counting the visible stars didn't come till 18th century and William Herschel. Before that people thought stars could not be counted. And even today it is not set how many individual stars can be seen with the unaided eye, some say 4000 some say 10 000. So back when the Bible was written - you guessed it - stars were considered too numerous to count.
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"
