What's the Creeping Fowl Going on All Four?

In the book of Leviticus 11:20 God forbids to eat “creeping fowls that go on all four”. Some say the Lord spoke about insects, though in the Scripture it has not been said so. And to some it seems not enough to accuse the divine scripture in ignorance of how many legs (feet) insects have, the anti-biblical public stands up for accusing it more and more, saying “God couldn't even count how many feet locust has”. But all they are wrong. Because there are several insects that fly and creep on all four (Mantis religiosa, Mantispidae, Gerridae, Nepidae, ranatra, Belostoma grande, Thick-tipped Greta, Caligo telamonius, Agrias claudina, Danaus plexippus); and the Bible counts locust to have six legs. It is clearly seen in the masoretic text when it says:

אַךְ אֶת-זֶה, תֹּאכְלוּ, מִכֹּל שֶׁרֶץ הָעוֹף, הַהֹלֵךְ עַל-אַרְבַּע: אֲשֶׁר-לא (לוֹ) כְרָעַיִם מִמַּעַל לְרַגְלָיו, לְנַתֵּר בָּהֵן עַל-הָאָרֶץ.

“Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs ((כְרָעַיִם) “pair legs” in original) above their feet (( מִמַּעַל לְרַגְלָיו ) means above those four feet), to leap withal upon the earth”. As you see the Bible says that locust has six feet: it has two legs to leap that are above those used to go.

The thing that causes the nowadays public to repeat “all insects have six legs” is the evolutionary theory that's becoming the main doctrine in the society. There are some insects that creep on four legs, but the third pair of their extremities serve them to catch and hold food. Not to go as legs are appointed to! Even a child knows that legs are to go with. But the evolutionists call them changed if they don't seem like feet, and are not used for locomotion (Mantis religiosa, Mantispidae, Nepidae, ranatra, Belostoma grande); and/or reduced if the extremities are merely seen and the scientists can't determine their function (Thick-tipped Greta, Caligo telamonius, Agrias claudina, Danaus plexippus). To prove that ALL insects have six feet the evolutionists use the idea of changes of the spices. And, in revers, to prove that spices change they use insects calling ALL them six-footed, but being changed.
