People attack the Bible or agree with attackers of the Bible because it suits their lifestyle.

That's a bit shortsighted. What about the people who attack the Bible because some parts of it are obviously not correct? For instance, the Bible says rabbits chew their cud. Pointing this out does not mean I want to go participate in an orgy -- I'd want to do that regardless.

Chewing the cud (as the Bible refers to) can and does include eating partially digested food that passes through the body. It does not have to be regurgitated. This is what the passage refers to and why it falls into the appropriate kosher dietary guidelines. So scientists who challenge the Bible here were just looking at the wrong end (of the animal).

"Pointing this out does not mean I want to go participate in an orgy -- I'd want to do that regardless."

So your immorality and rejection of the Bible are coincidental. Amazing how that coincidence seems to happen so frequently.
