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.

I never said I rejected the Bible. I just don't consider it infallible.
And, I've yet to meet any male over the age of 12 that hasn't considered the thought of joining in an orgy (and anyone who says the thought's never crossed his mind is a liar). Most of us never actually act on that desire. That's the great thing about self control (and lack of opportunity).

Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; [as] the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; [therefore] they [are] unclean unto you. Deut 14:7
It appears the Bible is lumping rabbits and camels together in this regard.
