Science and faith

I disagree with criticism of faith and the insinuation that science corrects errors of faith. Moses inquired and received instruction from Jehovah to wash the bedding of the sick that are treated and to wash the hands of the caregivers. (See Leviticus 15 [http://scriptures.lds.org/lev/15/1-5,7,13].) Not until Florence Nightingale did this practice become standard for preventing infection. Also, Joseph Smith inquired and received instruction from God about healthy eating habits and so forth (see D&C 89 [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/89]) well before any federal agency gave us the four food groups or the food pyramid. This revelation continues to be proven correct.

Men used their faith and received correct instruction dealing with real causes that science would eventually confirm, not correct.

Taking complete baths whenever you get a bit of blood on you (or, as you'll have noticed, every time you orgasm) isn't good practice, it's a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Similarly, the dietary laws described in the Book of Mormon are nearly entirely bullshit. Any hot drinks are bad, but any herb and fruit is good?
On the very rare occasions when religious laws have turned out to be right about anything, it's always been about things that have been obvious, not anything implying special knowledge the writers couldn't have obtained normally.

And Mormonism specifically is one of the most obvious religious frauds in recent history. I can sort of see why the feeble-minded would be taken in by Christianity or Judaism, but the origin of the Book of Mormon should be immediately obvious to anyone reading any passage of it.
