BUT, even IF you could do really well, you are a very rare exception to the rule.
Quote:Why would he have to ignore any history at all?Because even now we do not know all their is to know about microscopic life. So the question then becomes who does He speak to? Us with our current limited understanding?
To the following generations who have a better more accurate understanding than we do?
Or is it just not better to make laws that tell people to avoid behavior that spread germs, and tell them that it is just "unclean?"
Quote:Actually having the cleric of the ancients jews for example write about how microbes cause disease , would do far more to help his case and make people believe in him thousands of years later then having the cleric write a code of laws that seems oddly similiar to other ancient codes.That's like playing telephone, unless the priests could have something to relate what they were told to. As God did things He simply made things 'unclean' they understood that. To tell them about microscopic life has no practical application for them if they can not see, manipulate or experiment with it.
Not to mention how much is God obligated to share? Why not impart the knowledge of the very genome of all life that way we can know God is who He says He is?
Because again, no one would even be able to use that infor to verify anything up till our ability to observe experiment and to manipulate said life would allow us to confirm what was said.. So again why should God burden every generation with trying to figure out this knowledge up till this one?
God over and over typically gives us only what we need.
