Leviticus was the rule book to tell people how to live. People back then thought that rabbits chewed their cud. It had to be written for people to understand.

But, but, I thought the Bible was the infallable word of God? What happened?

Bats.

Nice try. Bats have two legs. Their forequarters evolved into wings. But now that you mention bats, why does Lev. 11:13-19 claim that bats are birds? Seems kind of strange.

"Walking on all fours" was probably a figure of speech.

What? You mean to say that the Bible is capable of metaphor, and that its contents are not all literally true?

It is. How isit not by telling people not to be fooled by the way a rabbit eats?

Bats appear to creep. "Walking on all fours" must've been a figure of speech. The bible had to be written for people to understand.

It had to be written for worthy people to understand. The bible is full of parables.
