Cottontails, European rabbits and hares all belong to the Leporidae
family.
Deep inside its burrow after feeding, the rabbit passes soft droppings of partly digested food which are then re-eaten to extract the maximum nourishment, thanks to a special pouch, the caecum, secreting bacteria into the large intestine. Finally it’s time to pass those hard pellet droppings outside the burrow where they belong.
By the way, bacteria were first described in the mid-1670’s by amateur
scientist Anton van Leeuwenhoek, and it wasn’t until the late 1800’s that Louis
Pasteur began to unravel the mysteries of bacteriology, proving that only life
can produce life.

Only
life can produce life?? Yes, we have
known that for over 200 years.
So how did life spontaneously first begin? Supernaturally??

Let’s get back on our rabbit trail…
How long have we known about the rabbit’s eating habits?
Here is Moses warning the children of Israel about 3,500 years ago:
"...and the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you." Leviticus 11:6
Skeptics have scoffed at this strange directive
saying that the Bible has got it wrong again – “Come on…everyone knows rabbits
don’t chew the cud!” How long have we known about the rabbit’s eating habits?
Here is Moses warning the children of Israel about 3,500 years ago:
"...and the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you." Leviticus 11:6
Oh yes they do.
Here are the Hebrew words Moses actually used: alah gerah, meaning ‘casts up chewed food’.
What do ya know!?...it sure looks like the God that Moses was always talking about got it right yet again.
