That is only true if you accept the idea of Biblical (or, more generally, textual) literalism, which is largely a feature of a subset of Evangelical Protestant sects in America starting in the mid-to-late 19th century.
For thousands of years prior to that, pretty much everyone was perfectly content understanding that these were stories to inform our understanding, some of them pure myth, some allegory, some depicting historical events (often with embellishments of one sort or another).
