>Because the Bible says shockingly little on the subject. This is partly because, to the people that wrote the Bible, Europe and Arabia were the whole world.
Except from the Biblical perspective this doesn't matter even if true, since God inspired them to write those words.
One can point to scientifically accurate statements in the Bible such as Job 37:18 which refers to the sky as a fluid (molten) mirror. This is factually accurate description of what the sky actually is, despite being written long before the writers could have known it empirically. The blue color caused by Rayleigh scattering is refracted sunlight.
>The Ancient Jews thought (what is now) Spain was the edge of the Earth. They had no idea that there were Abbos sitting in Australia that wouldn’t learn of the Abrahamic religions until centuries in the future.
This whole point is entirely irrelevant if the Bible is true and God, the Creator, inspired everything in the Scripture – as mentioned by Paul in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Even if we assume the people who were told what to write had zero idea about the rest of the planet, God did. God, the Creator, would know all of that.
>But this is meaningless because it also says (numerous times) that Jesus is the only path to heaven, and knowledge of the life of Jesus is not “evident in creation.”
Like I said, if they truly wanted to find out the truth and seek God, then the Gospel would reach them. This would happen through divine Providence. Thus, if it never reaches a particular group of people, that implies none of them ever tried to find the truth. Cont'd.
