Atheists (in their minds) attack their religion by not being relgious. Science (in their minds) attacks their religion by showing that their god(s) doesn't control stuff like their holy books say.

A book which tells you "do X" then turns around and tells you to do the exact opposite is not a reliable guide to anything.
In the gospels Yeshua bar Yosef tells you you have to obey every jewish law (because he was, if he existed, a proto ultra orthodox Jew), but by Saul of Tarsus, you are told the Jewish laws have to be ignored. So your "perfect detector" is a self confessed muddled pile of bullshit.
No, that is not what it says at all. There are chapters and chapters about the purpose of the OT law. These fit right in with Jesus' "I have not come for abolish the law but to fulfill it". Your contradiction is imagined and just keeps gets propagated by people who don't understand the context and methods of systematic theology.
