Let me clarify that what the vedas contain is not "knowledge" as we understand it as secular science.
///Vedas talk only about the nature gods means not related to any particular religion. The off-shoot of Vedas and later Upanishads....is Hinduism. Earlier Vedic were secular. They worshipped what they encounter in nature...that were common to any human beings on this Earth.
..
What the Vedas do contain is deep insight into the spiritual wrapped in metaphor. The Vedas point the way to liberation.
//Ambigious!
...
It does not matter that we have motor-cars today and the authors of the Veda had no idea what a motor-car was. Obviously, if human civilization survives another 1,000 years, there is a good chance that they will be technologically much more advanced than today. That does not diminish the spiritual insight of the Veda.
...It's because what Vedas preach is universals and universalities of uniquesness of mankind experiences. Hence, the hypothesis is obviously true.
...
The Vedas profess the rules by which human existance is bound.
///Not necessary. Zend Avesta the parallel of Upanishads too preaches the same.
...
e truth that Karma binds us to our existence that we need to transcend Karma to resolve this existence.
//Doctrime of Karma is not part of Vedas.
..
All the remaining is undebatable.

The Vedas profess the rules by which human existance is bound. The truth that Karma binds us to our existence that we need to transcend Karma to resolve this existence. This simple truth encompasses all of human existence. That is the meaning of the saying "The Veda contains all knowledge". Knowledge that is NOT bound by time and technology of the day. The Veda is equally true for a society that lives in the forest and for a society that lives on another planet.
The validity of the Veda should not be measured by whether they had aeroplanes or not. Certainly the authors of the Veda made no such claim.
