Had it not been true at the time it was written, wouldn't the people have disregaurded it rather than embrace it?

No. Its called fiction. People write enchanting tales of miracles and fantastical situations all the time, and they are not disregarded because they don't match the facts. People embrace them because they like the ideals and emotion that they evoke, not because they're factually correct. I didn't disregard Star Wars or LOTR because I didn't believe a place called Middle Earth or Tattoine could exist.
