Thats exactly the point , where does the Bible have anything to say about any real skillsets that would have been considered absolutely valuable to any civilization? Does it mention in any part those valuable lesson or aquired skills they may have learned in Egypt or Babylon? How can this be after living in captivity for what was it, 300yrs there under great toil ? Weaving? Metal working? Irrigating? Bridle/harness making & domestication if animals? Paper mache hats?

There are some codes for not eating insects that swarm, things that crawl on their bellys and don't eat anything goes oink oink. But your intelligent designer seems not to be concerned with anything that has to with design? More obsessed with sprinkling blood of pidgeons & goats about, burning special parts of the bodies etc.

Sounds like a real good gig for the priestly men who get to charge for all these mandatory ceremonious burnt offerings and regulate order. Very Darwinian, pure Darwin in fact.

Just seem to get schooled at every turn? If you have other questions you can always confer with your Baptist brother Al Sharpton? One book, so many nimrods with minds that live on bronze age slogans and so self absorbed in ignorance.

This is an evolution thread, ancient scribblings are of little interest usually or your relative moralities. On the subject of aqueducting water it wasn't till all the way up to 104bce Jerusalem even possessed any kind of water system, imagine how primitive this tiny hole in the wall was 800bce? It was Greeks that introduced this new technology just 100yrs before Jesus to fill the expanding needs of that city by Hasmonean king Alexander Janaeus.

Your "love thy brother" morality thing goes right to hell during this period, btw, during that Jewish civil war where Jew slaughtered Jew and ended up with the 800 crucifixions & 50,000 killed. A Greek king tried to smooth things over but no one was going to tell these fantatic Pharisees and Sadducee lunatics what to do.

Now that we think of it, you & gregoree would fit right in, prolly be the first to demand Jesus' head on a cross for riding donkeys on the Sabbath & not taking a wife.
