Just got banned from the lemmy.ml world news for saying Mexico is a narco state and ignoring the subsequent dogpile of hexbear users

Pretty pathetic, especially considering the users who insulted me got no repercussions.

Just another reason not to take mods seriously.

Edit: Apparently mental illness is a common trait among hexbear users. I hope they receive the help they need. This isn't healthy for them.

Are there any examples of a religion giving scientific knowledge that could not have been known to people at the time?

I've been doing a lot of research into Judaism. They seem to encourage asking tough questions and taking the answers seriously, which is good.

After reading a bit of the Torah, it got me thinking, why aren't there any references to people who could not have been known to its followers at the time? No mention of East Asians or Native Americans. Did God just forget about them when he talked through Moses? Or he thought they weren't important enough to mention?

Then it got me thinking some more. What about science? Wouldn't it be effective to convince followers of legitimacy if a religion could accurately predict a scientific phenomenon before its followers have the means of discovering it? Say, "And God said, let there be bacteria! And then there was bacteria." But there is nothing like that. Anywhere, as far as I can tell. Among any religion.

I'm not a theologian and I'm always interested in learning more, so any insights would be helpful.

Edit: A lot of responses seem to be saying "people wouldn't have had a use for that knowledge at the time" seem to be parroting religious talking points without fully understanding their implications. Why would God only tell people what they would have a use for at the time? Why wouldn't he give them information that could expand the possibilities of what they were capable of? Why does it matter if people had a word for something at the time? Couldn't God just tell them new words for new things? If God was only telling them things that were relevant to them at the time, why didn't He say so? Also, how come he doesn't come back and tell us things that are relevant now, or at least mention that he isn't coming back?

Robin L. Rosenberg of the Southern District of Florida is the judge that blocked the release of the Epstein files

She's being paid by our tax dollars to protect child rapists that were paid by our tax dollars.

There's no point in trying to use the system to change the system.

The more heroes we have willing to take matters into their own hands, the better. It's all we have to fight back.

She and everyone else defending this pedophile ring deserve worse than any of its victims.

Is there a process by which courts check access logs of a server to verify the data hasn't been tampered with?

Since anyone can put anything they want on their servers, it seems like a lot of evidence could be thrown out in court cases if access to that information is not strictly monitored and audited to make sure the owners aren't removing or adding data.

Does anyone know of industry-standard practices to ensure that data on servers is not being manipulated in a way to protect or harm users?
