Tell me this, you should have the answer since you seem to know all about what the Bible teaches. Why did the writer of Genesis know that the stars were innumerable when only about 6000 stars are visible to the human eye? The ancient people knew that the stars were numerable because they studied them, they were more observable of the stars then they the common man of today even with all our knowledge. Most people do not know that only 6000 stars are visible with the naked eye.
lol you're really diverting the subject here. What you don't want to talk how crazy Paul was? I don't know where writer of Genesis says that stars are innumerable but it was perhaps because he didn't know how to count because he didn't even know real shape of the Earth - for starters. Earth in the Genesis and other parts is described Earth in Genesis as flat area of extent large enough to hold those Kingdoms known to the Biblical writers with heaven being a semispherical vault that nestles down over the earth, so humans seem to live on the floor of a world that is inside a hollow semisphere.

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"
