I thought I was a waste of space. I know I already provided the answer. The same Bible verses you used to start this thread.

The Bible And Science: Insects

I'll ask you again. Did you make that video? Is that how you know the condition of the insect in that video?
Have you ever watched one? They use all 6.

Yes they do, and the Bible doesn't say otherwise. The ones the Bible specifies also walk on all fours. This is how the six legged insects are distinguished in the relevant verses given.
Seems like a lot of twisting to be able to say a book is accurate when it isn't.
Is this the best rationalization you can come up with?
Anyone without any knowledge of how many legs insects have would be mislead by the Bible into thinking insects only have four legs.
Stretch propaganda all you want. Call me names. It will not change the facts.

Are you serious, bug man? You've never seen the insects in question walk on four legs? Are you suggesting that the video is CGI or something? Do you have to do that in order to make the Bible look questionable? The real question I have for you is why in hell a Christian would do that? Is it a joke?!
You know. Every insect also has one leg. And two. And three. But they have a total of six. You are not supposed to stop counting just because you get to your favorite number. I suppose some people can only count to four.

Yes, you do.
It's over guy. I know it now. When all this nonsense starts to fly. It's done.

I don't need to change the facts. For you to suggest that Moses, who ate these insects didn't know they had six legs is stupid.
If you are a Christian, why do you have to twist things to rationalize something that is obviously a flaw and try desperately to turn it into a truth? We are not going to start ignoring one whole pair of legs on insects just to satisfy your confused desire that flaws in the Bible are not real.
I only know what is written and the description there is one of an animal with only four legs.
That's right. You probably did not know that. Insects are animals too.

ROFL... you do realize how ridiculous that sounds, right? It's like me saying: Human's are one legged animals! And you pointing out: But humans actually have TWO legs. Then my reply is: What human has two legs who doesn't have one?
In all likelihood, Moses was a myth. In any case, Genesis was certainly NOT written by anyone who lead the Israelites out of Egypt (since that seems to not have happened at all).
Are you suggesting that disagreeing with your rationalization means a person is not a Christian or recognizing a flaw in the Bible is attacking it. Should I be dishonest like some and pretend it says something it does not?
I am not suggesting anything about CGI. You brought that up. You are resorting to logical fallacy because cannot stand on the evidence. You made a claim about the insects in the video. I am asking how you possess the knowledge of the condition of the insect in that video that goes beyond what is shown in the video. You made the claim, but you cannot seem to back it up. You have to go into silliness and fallacy instead.

I've seen them turn using four legs and maybe walk a bit on a leaf on four legs.
Most likely because it's being cautious with its legs ready to jump at a moment's notice.
This all reminds me of a (supposed) Lincoln quote:
Ques: How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg?
Ans: Four. Calling the tail a leg doesn't make it one.
