Leviticus 15:13 said to wash the skin in "running water," while doctors
didn't know about germs and were washing their hands in stagnant bowls of
water until the late 1800s.
Leviticus 17:11 said "...the life of the flesh is in the blood..." but up until

In Job 38:16, God asked Job, "Hast thou entered into the springs of the

flat.

and embarrass you for taking the Bible seriously and for not knowing its
