Blood is necessary to sustain life
Date Written: 1450-1410 BC
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.
Scientific Discovery:
During George Washington's day, the practice of blood-letting to treat various kinds of illnesses was common. In fact, George Washington died from this very treatment. In 1830 AD, Dr. Marshall Hall came out in strong opposition to this practice. However, had any of the doctors who practiced this treatment read these Bible verses, they would have known that it could have fatal consequences..

Since cutting the neck was a common means of killing livestock, and many men had seen others bleed to death from wounds, is was an easy extrapolation that could be the work of man.
Despite is overuse, therapeutic phlebotomy (blood letting) has not gone by the wayside.

What was God to the primitive people who wrote it? If you could be transported back to biblical times with a cigarette lighter the people would drop to their knees and call you God because you could make fire come from your hands where as they had to work for 30 min. in order to produce a flame. Religion doesn't want people to make comparisons between the intellect of the biblical people with what we know today.

That very verse is the reason that clergy doctors began the practice of bleeding. They were "purging the body of blood poisoned by Satan."

I'm sure doctors of the past knew a person could bleed to death. They thought removing some blood could restore balance in the "four humours" of a body.

surely it's a lot more obvious than that. when people lose a lot of blood, they tend to die. it doesn't require divine knowledge or intellect to work that one out.

Ancient India had rudimentary atomic structure 2700 years ago.
Does that mean Hinduism must be true?
