Much of the Talmud is made up. Here's just 1 example: 2000 years earlier, God told them that they can't boil a kid in it's mother's milk. The Canaanites had a ritual where they'd do that then pour the broth over their fields as an offering to some god to have good crops. God was simply saying to not participate in pagan rituals to other gods. The writers of the Talmud decided that God didn't tell them everything so they set out to say what God forgot to say.
1st, they went beyond goat meat and it's own mother's milk. They said to not boil any meat in any milk. then they said to not cook any meat in any pot that had ever had milk in it in case there was some milk residue, and vise versa. They needed separate pots for cooking meat and milk. then, since meat and milk might mix in the stomach, they couldn't eat meat and milk at the same meal. That soon grew to say they couldn't eat any meat and any milk on the same day. It kept growing. Modern kosher Jews actually have 2 separate sections of their kitchens, each with it's own set of cookware, separate sinks, counter space, refrigerators, etc. One section is for cooking meat, the other for milk. Any mixing of the utensils, counter space, etc. is forbidden. Some of the more well to do Jews actually have houses with 2 kitchens, one for meat, one for milk.
Now tell me that this isn't man-made.
Jesus speaking to the Pharisees and Scribes: "For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."
- Mark 7: 8-9
He's speaking of the Talmud before it was codified in written form.
