Not eating pork or shellfish with food preservation techniques available 6,000 years ago is definitely backed by science
Yeah, but outdated science doesn’t count.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”
