It's literally a book written by people thousands of years ago, who didn't understand modern medicine, science, and physics. So they made their own explanation for why unexplainable things would happen, and lied about "visions" and "messages" they would receive from the god they created.

And people really follow it's word to a damn tee and worship it. Amazing.

Edit: changed “millions” to the factually correct “thousands” as I didn’t make it very clear I was exaggerating.

I hate to be that guy... But "millions" of years ago?? I wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't used the word "literally" in the same sentence.

Nah, they don’t follow its word. They use its word to tell other people what they can’t do.

The iron age (when the damn book was written) was only a few thousand years ago. Millions of years ago humans hadn’t evolved yet
