those who wrote it actually had an education in the sciences and humanities comparable to that of a high school student today? Would they still talk about Adam and Eve? Noah? Moses?
These stories were based on stories that were told centuries earlier. Had their academic knowledge been developed to a higher level, How different do you think the bible would be?

I think you are right in a way. If people weren't educated back then, how can people really believe everything that was written in the Bible? I mean, if someone couldnt explain in writing what was said to them, they would've just made it up, wouldnt they? As people keep saying, the Bible is made up of stories written by different people, and as we know now, a person views life from their own perspective, not as actual truth, but what they perceive to be truth. And what may be true for one person may not be true to another.

That of course would depend on wether the men wrote their ow ideas or wether it was inspired by Godin the case of the Latter, it wouldn't be any different because it would be from the same source, and there could not be any higher wisdom than the wisdom of the Almighty God Jehovah!

The bible is based on real life accounts of real people. It wouldn't so much be a need for higher education, but interpretation of the events.

"Sciences" and "humanities" back then?
