How was it obvious? The Old Testament keeps mentioning that the earth is fixed in place, but how else would YOU explain it, coming from their level of understanding of the cosmos? I mean, looking at the sky, everything about it would tell you that the heavens revolve around the earth, not the other way around.... It's easy to see that a theory with a moving earth would develop a little bit of skepticism...

Well so you made it clear that it's obvious that they didn't know what they were talking about then.
Sure, about how celestial bodies moved.... But you can be sure that they knew a whole lot about the human condition. Those stories are prehistoric. There was no science. But they weren't stupid. To write off the bible based on their lack of scientific knowledge is a little extreme. Might as well write off Dawkins and Hitchens because they don't know anything about philosophy.
