Then we have the discoveries that time and again confirm the Genesis account, but what happens... They get shoved into the other corner, where the community says with a smile, "That's ours. ". Or they are just ignored.
God’s Laws on Hygiene Were Ahead of Their Time
None of the hygiene laws listed on your linked page appear in Genesis. For you to assert they "confirm the Genesis account" is absurd.
Given that man has been around for about 100,000 years, it is not surprising that humans had learned a little about sanitation (Don't **** where you eat). So it should not be surprising that the people who wrote some of the chapters and stories in the OT would have included them.
However, assertions like this...
9These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: 10And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
...clearly show that the contents of the OT could not have been written with the concurrence of an Omniscient God. The ancients were not knowledgeable enough to know that shellfish just had to be harvested at certain times of the year. That's something even a mediocre god would know - especially if he created the clams and lobsters.
