Wow! What a list you've compiled there. Let's address the first supposed bible error you've cited.

Is it true that rabbits chew cud?

Ahhh one of the great questions of our time, Ichi. No doubt you are referring to Leviticus 11:6 which speaks of a hare chewing it's cud.

I'm sure you are aware that Lagomorphs breed bacteria in their stomachs to improve food, just like cows do. How do you define rumination?

"we consider that the fundus of the rabbit stomach, loaded with soft pellets, is analogous to the rumens of sheep and cattle."

Griffiths, M. & Davies, D. The role of the soft pellets in the production of lactic acid in the rabbit stomach. J. Nurte., 80:161-80, 1963.

I'd say Moses had insider information!

So chewing isn't necessary to the process of chewing? I guess it depends on what the definition of "is" is.
