Heck, Genesis is (for me) still a valuable source of information on the creation of the earth, but it clearly wasn't written by someone who knows how it happened.
But this may be the wrong thread for that debate.
Yes. The entire Bible was written by people who had no understanding of science for people who had no understanding of science. Back then, people often didn't even know precisely when one year ended and another began. Even as recently as just hundreds of years ago. Take Joan of Arc for example, during her trial she testified that she was "around 18".
Clearly, it is to be interpreted.
