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.

What about the ones who heard “not ALL seafood will make you sick, here’s how you can tell which i-” and set THAT person on 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You yourself called it “outdated science”, so please do not play the semantics game.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…

My mistake. My second pass at it was much more accurate.

You are completely waxing over that EVERYTHING in religion gefs boiled down to, “skydaddy says so”

Nope, I’m deliberately alluding to that fact and how it makes religion inherently unscientific. Sorry for being too subtle.

We don’t have any proof that scientific experiments were conducted and thoroughly studied to reach the conclusion either. Science is as much about the methods as the result.
