Rabbits don't chew the cud
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
Leviticus 11:6
The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you.

Deuteronomy 14:6-7
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud. However, of those that chew the cud or that have a split hoof completely divided you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the coney. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a split hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you.

No.

+ The Bible +

There is a fundamental difference between truth and fact.

It is true that God exists but I cannot prove it.

It is a fact that President Bush said he invaded Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction but it is not true.

Catholics believe that the Bible teaches truth about God but it is not historically factual at all times.

The Bible's primary purpose is to teach us the truth about God and His (or Her) love for us, not to teach facts about history or science.

All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

+ Science +

The Church supports science in the discovery of God's creation. At this time, the theory of evolution is the most logical scientific explanation. However tomorrow someone may come up with a better idea.

The Church does not support science when it damages the dignity and sanctity of human life or misuses the earth's resources.

+ With love in Christ.

For many years, scientists used the rabbit or “hare” to prove the Bible supposedly wrong because in Lev. 11:6 we read, “And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.” They claimed that the rabbit didn’t chew its cud or have the same stomach system as other cud chewers like cows, and therefore the Bible was wrong.
Then about 20 years ago, it was discovered that rabbits do indeed—in a sense—chew their cud. When a rabbit first eats something, the food passes through its digestive system rapidly, undergoing very little digestion. These are the green pellets one finds when raising rabbits! The rabbit will then eat these green pellets, which are actually their cud, and finish chewing and digesting them. They then pass on out as brown waste pellets. So rabbits really do chew their cud.

Leviticus is one of the most hilariously inane books in The Big Story Book. It is filled with such stupifying drivel, that you need to be strapped into your chair when you read it. It also says that any fish with scales and fins is "good to eat." This is patently false, as there are several fish that meet this description that are deadly poisonous to eat. It also states with mind-numbing ignorance that bats are birds. Evidently "god" didn't know much about all the things he "created." Leviticus is an endless source of amusement and, is a wonderful example of the word of "god."

You should follow the Bible as a way of life...except those parts that make no sense or show how ignorant the people that made it up were back then. Then you should take it with a grain of salt as a guide to live life.

But it is the word of god.

We just choose which parts he really meant and which parts he's cool with us deeming silly.

Science is the work of men and proves nothing.

Rabbits do chew their cud.

Yes and you are going straight to hell.
