You must have already thought that the current scientific consensus was accurate if you also believed that those hut dwellers, as you put it, got something right. Something that might indicate or lead to a god. I did call your example wrong, because it is wrong, both in point of fact as a story in a magic book that doesn't accurately describe any part of the current scientific understanding, and as an issue in anthropology of what those people knew.
You also appear to be laboring under the impression that there's an inconsistency you've discovered when..in fact, you've not.
The cornerstone of your faith in god references a god zero times, and it's probably safe to say that many people who also believe that they should do the most with what they've been given, and do the best they can as much as they can, and not continue to do the worst, are atheists. This strongly suggests that your belief in god is explained by and through something else. Not this, and certainly not the last sacrificial example either.
