Criticisms of Farrell Till
Farrell Till stated the Bible was incorrect in regard to the scriptures declaring that hares and hyraxes chewing the cud. In doing so, Mr. Till stated that Wayne Jackson misquoted Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia in regard to declaring these animals as ruminants. What Mr. Till ommitted to state, however, was that particular issue of Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia said that hyraxes ruminate. This bears directly on the very issue being discussed. In addition, Mr. Till does not mention all the various exegetical issues and scientific issues that are involved in regard to the issues raised Leviticus 11: 5-6, according the various scientists and Jewish/Christian exegetical scholars. (For further details please see: Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia, 1986, Animals of the Bible, Beasts of the field: hare, page 80, Moody Press, Chicago, IL). JP Holding who comments on much of Mr. Till's work points out other matters which Mr. Till fails to mention in regards to his articles on the Bible in regards to animal behavior which has later been affirmed by scientists in addition to making other commentary regarding the afore cited essay of Mr. Till.
