I think you're probably close to it with that. I believe the writers of Genesis and the rest of the Bible did their best to explain what they believed in but were limited in their understanding so could only explain in ways that made sense to them. For instance it's like the Native Americans calling the railway the 'iron horse'. It wasn't a horse but it was the only thing they could relate it to.
