Lose one argument and move to the next. Since I'm neither
a Rabbi/Hebrew scholar nor an expert on Mideastern
mammals in ancient times, I have no idea which animal
the author and Biblical translators called a hare. But
the point is that hares were not to be eaten by human
beings, not what the digestive processes of the hare were.
The truth doesn't involve whether or not hares chew the
cud but whether hares should be part of the human diet.

The Bible author made a statement, hares chew the cud, that statement is
either true or false. This list is about Bible errancy. Bottom line hares
don't chew the cud. As for losing one argument that is according to you
in your own mind. I merely moved on too the hares chew cud because you
did not address that in the original post.

Religion and Science are like two modems on
a noisy phone line - except that only one of
them has an error correction protocol.
