Bible says....Science agrees.

[Lanakila]

The sanitation procedures instituted under the Jewish law we know now to be wisdom beyond the times. The Israelites practiced according to the law proper sanitation for a camp of wandering people, when the rest of the peoples of the times had not a clue. It wasn't found out for hundreds of years why the Israelites did these things. They likely didn't die of as many diseases and pestilences as the other peoples that lived during the same period of time.

Where do you think washing your hands before every meal came from?  This is not just a family custom.  It was instituted by the the Lord Himself.

God-man,

 Actually vitamin K is produced from a bacterium in the bowel called Escherichia coli.  The baby is born with no active bacteria in the bowels but by day 7-8 the growth is suficient that there is a surge of vitamin K.  Vitamin K is important as a cofactor in the clotting process.

The Bible, in Isaiah, says the earth is a sphere.

I think many would argue that trial and error could also lead to most of the "laws" of Moses.

[Adstar]

Your point would be valid if other comparable ancient cultures had come to the same conclusions through trial and error. Look at the Chinese culture? and the many Cultures of India Burma, Thailand  and Cambodia? In fact the Chinese culture is one of the longest uninterrupted cultures on earth and their diet has expanded, not contracted to a strict diet like the one prescribed in scriptures.

So I hope you can see that the kosher diet goes against the natural tendencies of human dietary development throughout history. It is only with modern scientific study that it has been found to be valid.

I totally agree that science agrees with the Bible.  In fact, most of the earliest scientists were Christians.  It was the scientists that were too proud to admit a Creator that quit using the more reliant deductive method, to opt for their inductive reasoning that wouldn't allow for God to fit in any of their conclusions.  

Cynicism versus skepticism

What about something as simple as blood sustaining life?

Leviticus 17:11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood..."

Medical doctors didn't know this until the late 1800s.

[endure4salvation]

What is the verse that explains atoms? Saying that we are made up of the smallest things that are invisible?

Hebrews 11:3 NASB

By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the Word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.
