Given that the people who wrote the bible had absolutely no knowledge of the world it would seem these are the most appropriate definitions to describe it. Natural philosophy was the ancient world's miserable excuse for not having invented science, the perpetual process of hypothesis, testing, observation, and reaching rational conclusions from them. Instead they invented a world entirely in their own minds. They believed everything that existed was made out of earth, water fire and air and that the world was flat with the entire universe revolving around it and themselves. Laughable given today's knowledge, a five year old child knows far more about what the world, the universe, and existence is really about than Aristotle knew in his entire lifetime. The Catholic Church was forced to give up its literal interpretation of the bible when Galileo proved it wrong in a way that anyone could verify his observations and reasoning but that hasn't stopped Creationists today, they have no qualms about looking foolish to keep their cherished fairy tales alive for themselves. How green is the bible? It's the grass on the other side.
