No, I'm saying that I can see numerous reasons why those laws were there.
"Don't eat pork" is from the law that "allows" any animal with a cloven hoof and chews cud. It was in the 1940's that scientists discovered the actual dangers of undercooked pork.
"must have scales" eliminates quite a lot of sea creatures. Mollusks are know to contain high percenatges of heavy metals plus a high percentage of physical allergies to them.
"Don't touch carcasses and wash if you do" has obvious beneficial outcomes from following said "law"
But my favorite is that if a woman is on her period, she should be expelled from camp until it's over. The fucking brilliance of the ancient Israelites is amazing.

But hey, it's not like Jesus ever says crazy shit in the NT, right? Right?
Revelations 2:19-23 Wrote:19 “I know your works, love, service, faith,and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works."
RIGHT?!
Jesus said that?!?!? Really?
But anyways...
Revelation 22:18-19
King James Version (KJV)
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
There is no promise that the Bible is 100% accurate.
