How does one explain away that in the book of Job, god knows things that christians claim could not have been known...such as the questions regarding the constellations?

Can you give us more specifics? What verses provide examples of what you are trying to get at?

31 "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades?
Can you loosen Orion's belt?
32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons [c]
or lead out the Bear [d] with its cubs?

I was told that there would be no way that the writters would understand the stars this way.

Here we have traces of ancient mythology. In Job you can find the great battle with the water monster Lotan. They have found a carving with the Hunter leg posed with Orions belt and holding up a club that was 32,500 years old.

Very easily; There is no god and the Christians claiming this have a poor understanding of other cultures. There is nothing in the Bible that is ahead of its time and equally nothing in the Bible that would lead one to any other evidence of any God or Gods.

A book titled a 1001 Fairy Tales is not acceptable evidence of the existence of Trolls.
