Line 16:

'''Rebuttal''': The Bible does not say the mustard seed is the smallest seed in the world. It is the smallest seed the farmer has and sows in his field. Like saying a penny is the smallest coin when you hand out quarters, nickels, and pennies even if a dime is smaller. The Greek word translated as “earth” or "world" (γῆ) can mean "land", "soil", or "ground" too. <ref>https://biblehub.com/greek/1093.htm</ref>

===Anatomy of insects===

{{Bible quote|All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you. Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth. Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper. But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.|book=Mark|chap=4|verses=30-31|version=WEB}}

'''Supposed error: Bible says insects have four legs, but they have six.'''

'''Rebuttal: It counts four walking legs plus two back jumping legs. Leviticus 11:21 shows the four feet are for walking. The two hind legs are different and used for hopping, The Bible is being very precise as to distinguish the front four from the back two.

4 walking legs + 2 hind hopping legs = 6 total legs. '''
