Well it's interesting when you realize that the bible is only one text of many that follows a common theme that flows through many cultures. Look at how many cultures have a Flood Story.. Many of them passed the stories down and never had writing, but it was always part of heir mythology. There's a lot more to the prevailance of this kind of thing than biblical scholars give credit for. A lot of unusual happenings (comets, ice ages etc) were documented in religious documents as punishement etc from the gods. Those people didn't know anything different than to assume these things were acts of their deities.
