A bunch of bronze age goat herders had no concept of observation or theories in the scientific sense. In other words here, you're saying: did they see something they couldn't explain and so came up with their own explanation.

No, we reserve judgement, if you cannot demonstrate existence, then it is pointless believing in it.
