Some are explanations made up by people in the absence of knowledge as an early attempt to explain what they couldn't (lightning, sun rising, etc.) and the other are explanations that have been discovered by what the evidence tells.
So it all depends what you take stock in. Some religious holy text written by a community of individuals with a common agenda, or the universe.
Holy texts have been written by man, altered, changed, and falsified throughout the ages. The universe and the earth that we live on couldn't be faked even if we tried and the evidence knows no religion or agenda.
Personally, I opt for the earth that can't lie over the holy books that do nothing but.
