When teaching or explaining to a large group (let alone all of humanity) one must teach to the 'slowest' person in the group. Otherwise you'd loose all but a hand ful. This way all but a handful is lost.

So what you're saying is that the concept of a sphere would be baffling to those bronze age peeps, but the concept of an all knowing, miraculous god would not be? Thinking
The concept of a sphere before the ability to explain it would have baffled anyone.

Do you think that the Bible is the best work he could come up with?

If it were who would it speak to?

The bible is the remedial course in God/salvation 101

And still we have trouble with it.

So, maybe, when they spoke of God, they were just using poetic language to describe the natural formation of the universe and as a metaphor to represent their ideas of morality?

Or, are you just going to pick which cherries are metaphors and which aren't?

Why am I asking, you're as predictable as the sun rising.
If I am, then Why does it seem that you missed the intentions of what I said here?
