It actually seems that there is some pretty advanced writing styles in the Bible. While it was written many years ago, it does not fit with what I would expect to read if the authors were that primitive or uneducated.

At the time the Bible was written, the culture would have been less primitive in many respects than the stories themselves. The stories are supposed to be much older than the culture which preserved them in text.
