What wisdom?
What can I possibly learn from these books? They happened to know a few things that were surprising for people to know at that time, if you wildly interpret the words to fit something we've since found out?
I'm not too impressed. And even if they did know stuff, I don't care. It's not proof of anything. If a book has something useful in it, I can read and make use of that part of the book without having to worship the rest of the book, pretend it is all true including outrageous supernatural claims, and make a massive deal out of it.
They certainly have nothing to teach me about morality, my own morality is far superior to what these books have to say. Almost everyone is more intelligent and more moral than the gods and people protrayed in these books. Even the people who worship those books.
I'm very glad for you if these books make you happy. But to me they are worthless drivel. If I want to learn something, I'll read a proper factual book.
