    The Bible And Science: Insects

    Trying to defend one of hundreds of pseudo-scientific claims made by the Bible, is only an exercise in futility. Although the Bible never mentions by name, the class "Insecta", or the subphylum "Hexapoda"(six-feet), it is clear that the Bible is talking about flying swarming 6 legged...

    The Bible And Science: Insects

    This is the claim of the post. If the critic of the Bible is using the text of the Bible and a knowledge of insects to make the determination that the Bible is not a source of scientific information, then they are not making that conclusion uninformed. The Bible implies that insects have four...

    The Bible And Science: Insects

    If the truth were so obvious, then why do you suppose you had to engage in a rather lengthy exposition to try to point out the 'obvious'? If it were so obvious, then why the need to explain it? And it is so weird how YouTube refutes your strained etymology...

    Then to me the expression ' walking on all fours ' simply means a mode of transportation, and Not a literal four legs.

    The Bible And Science: Insects

    Insects have three pairs of legs. Locusts are insects. They have three pairs of legs. If they are described as four-legged, then the description is wrong. It says every winged creature that walks on four legs and that is more than just locusts. Sorry. Better luck next time.

    The Bible And Science: Insects

    I think people in Bible times were perfectly capable of counting. We see how many legs bugs have and they being more agricultural probably more so.

    The Bible And Science: Insects

    The Bible critic will sometimes make the uninformed claim that the Bible isn't scientific because it says that insects have four legs. Leviticus 11:20-23 - Every winged swarming creature that goes on all fours is a loathsome thing to you. Only this is what you may eat of all the winged...

    Biblical PLAGUE? Experts BAFFLED as mysterious swarm of LOCUSTS invade Mecca’s holy sites

    Possibly. It should be interesting to see what unfolds concerning this in the days to come.

    Biblical PLAGUE? Experts BAFFLED as mysterious swarm of LOCUSTS invade Mecca’s holy sites

    That is very strange. Especially considering that in Joel 1:4, God seems to use other insects as well as locusts, and the scientific non-believers (who I respect and like BTW) haven't taught us the scientific relevance of the abundance of roaches and crickets. Perhaps they question the...

    Biblical PLAGUE? Experts BAFFLED as mysterious swarm of LOCUSTS invade Mecca’s holy sites

    Exodus 10:4 Also, the YouTube video suggests that other insects (in this case, cockroaches) also came with the locusts... This is also biblical. Joel 1:4

    Science And The Bible

    Original Post Edited By Raymond Sheen Skwim, Bats And Birds The Hebrew word ohph, used at Leviticus 11:13 is sometimes translated incorrectly as birds and sometimes as fowl. The English word fowl applied originally not only to birds but all winged flying creatures such as bats and insects...
