Poor question. You're personifying the Bible. It can't make claims. The priestly writer has passed so he can't change what he wrote. The priestly writer also didn't write a scientific paper, he wrote a religious story. The writer doesn't claim his story is based on "science". The writer is not responsible for what people claim today.
Why do some people today still claim the stars were created by God when science has shown that no supernatural intervention is necessary for their formation?
I think the answer depends on the purpose, just like the priestly writer's story.
Which is why I have said that one can only understand the significance of the Biblical stories when viewed through the eyes of the writers & not through modern eyes.
