‘The Truth from the Creator Himself’ (the YEC variation) will not give you antibiotics or cancer cures.

The Bible may not have presented specific information to lead to the discovery of anti-biotics or chemotherapy, but that does not invalidate the Bible.

Before antibiotics were discovered (by accident, not through scientific research to find them), all those hygiene rules from the Creator Himself, would have saved a lot of lives and untold misery had they been followed.

There were a lot of regulations concerning health for the Israelites to follow that make a lot more sense now that we know some of the *why* for why they are effective, but modern science still hasn't invalidated any of them.

EXCELLENT point and something I hadn't thought about or heard before.

Indeed, these regulations set the pattern for modern hygienic practices, one need only consider the care armies in the field have to observe.
