The priest describes them as 'part of the Sacred Scrolls', though, so presumably they're just a part that people didn't pay a huge amount of attention to before the Cylons. This isn't really surprising, since from what we know they're a collection of surreal-sounding visions about the end of the world, and people usually have more important things to pay attention to.
Also - the end of the first Cylon War was 40 or 50 years ago - when folks focused on Sacred Texts - they were probably focusing on Rebuilding/ Mercy/ New Era or stuff like that. They *might* have thought they'd already Survived The End and those prophecies were already met. ??
Like in the first millennium? Many were sure the world was nearly over... but uh, nope, sorry... keep working >smile<.
