How would anyone or any ancient society know how the cosmos was formed. It's all guess on their part. A plausible scenario to them, modified by their neighbors. What is plain to me now is that if one gives up the details of the "guess" one can still believe that God created the universe. Religious people are still stuck in the "magic wand" of creation. Whereby god points his wand and poof...there it is in whole cloth. They do not see process. There is a process to all of creation, whether its art, building a house, or creating a universe. Its small mind time context. If God created the universe then what science is showing is not why, but how. We are living the process. There has to be a process, it's not magic. So many religions believe in shear magic alone. Magic beliefs are dead end. The Bible is always looking back at has-been societies and accepting their limited views on creation.
