Leviticus, 11:22: Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

You've either never read your holy book (meaning you couldn't know that nothing in it can be proven false), or are a Poe.

Nothing in the Bible can be proven false
Lots of things can, unless you allow bizarre extra-scriptural explanations invented out of thin air. For example, none of the Gospels mention a disciple named Nathaniel except John. So the "nothing in the Bible can be proven false" crowd say "Bartholomew must have had an alternative name: Nathaniel". But nothing in the Bible says anything about an alternative name for Bartholomew.

The "nothing in the Bible can be proven false" crowd say "well, the rope must have broken while he was hanging himself and he fell headlong and split open from the fall". Again, invented out of thin air.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was3. He called the light “day,”4 and... he called... ...the darkness... GAAAASP! Phew. It couldn't be done. Let's see...
