A) There are species of hares, such as the coney hare native to the part of the world were there old testament was written, that do chew a cud.
B) Insects do have six legs. I believe you are referring to where it talks of insects that "walk on four legs" as being clean. There are insects such as the locust, praying mantis and many species of grasshoppers that use their front legs as "hands" and walk on only four legs. The Mosaic Law stated that such insects are kosher to eat.
C) Science is already decoded much of the language of the honey bee, and is making headway on others. That Adam and Eve might have had the knowledge to understand some of the animal languages is not outside the realm of science. Scientist today are doing it. You make the assumption that the snake was speaking a human language, something not stated in scripture.
D) See the answer for C
E) There is evidence of a great flood.

B. That "insects" have six legs and "spiders" have eight legs is a modern classification. Were the Bible writers subject to modern classifications before they were even invented? I suppose Jesus should have took a bus when he traveled instead of walking then too. :)
C. The Bible doesn't say snakes talk. The Bible says it was the devil. There are no other verses that say snakes talk.
D. The Bible doesn't say donkeys talk. God used the donkey as a vessel. There are no other verses that say donkeys talk.
E. Evidence for the flood is every where if one removes the bias that it couldn't happen from their thinking. And why do people think that? Because to admit the flood happened is to admit they are accountable for this sins to God, and judgment is coming. Fortunately, God provides deliverance.
