And bats being considered part of a group of "flying creatures" isn't unscientific, mistaking mammals for birds. It's just a matter of different taxonomies

You are making up definitions of words. "Fowl" does not mean "flying creatures," because then flying insects would be "fowl" too. It means birds, hens, checkens.

To call bats "birds" or "fowl" is not a matter of "different taxonomies" but of sheer ignorance. And if every word in the Bible is God-inspired and inerrant, then such errors can not exist.

Yet again your ignorance is simply astounding. The word "fowl" denoted a whole group of flying creatures, among which was one that we now classify as a flying creature of one kind but not another. To say that the Hebrews looked at a bat and said it was the same thing as a chicken is absurd. It is you who are creating false distinctions, the underlying purpose of which appears to be revealed in the last two sentences quoted above.

Every culture has its own taxonomies that have groupings that make sense within the context of the experience of those cultures. Some so-called "primitive" societies have extensive botanical taxonomies that would permit those who knew them to survive in what would be for "modern" man a dangerous and deadly wilderness.
