Yeah, but outdated science doesn’t count. That’s just how science works.
Also, you don’t have to be a scientist to avoid clearly spoiled seafood. Especially in the desert.
No, that’s the thing. It IS still relevant and fully correct for what it meant to do. Just because someone invented better preservation techniques doesn’t magically make shellfish or pork less FBI prone than other food. That is and will always be true.
That’s not science, though.
They didn’t arrive at “don’t eat spoiled seafood” or “because the bacteria will make you sick”.
They arrived at “don’t eat any seafood, ever” and “because magic sky daddy says so and will punish you if you disobey”
Well, think about all those people who heard “rotten foot will make you sick” and said “don’t tell me how to live my life!”
Kinda makes sense to threaten that kind of person with fire.
You yourself called it “outdated science”, so please do not play the semantics game.
You are completely waxing over that EVERYTHING in religion gets boiled down to, “skydaddy says so”. That does not and will never mean that is the actual etymology of the rule…
