Yes, ignorance. And nothing illustrates it better than what you've done above: using a dictionary definition based on one taxonomic system to find fault with an instance of another taxonomic system and thinking that you've proved something about the other taxonomic system.

I have shown you the definition of the word "fowl" in the English language. I have shown you the meaning of the Hebrew biblical word "ofe" and reminded you that KJV and NSV English language Bibles translate it either as "bird" or "fowl." Ignorance is ignoring these facts.

Beginning with Lev 11:13, and ending with verse 19, the Bible reads (read it carefully!)

"These are the birds you are to detest and not eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture,
the black vulture, the red kite,
any kind of black kite, any kind of raven,
the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat."

Every species mentioned here is a bird, except for the bat. Yet the bat is counted as a bird. Does it get any clearer than this that Moses believed bats were birds and not some "flying creatures?" Surely, you don't think God lied to Moses?

I mean, you will stop at nothing, inlcuding insults, just to "prove" that Moses could not have possibly been wrong! Why? because it throws out the whole literalistic "inerrant" bible superstition? You don't even know what "ignorance" means. Now, that's ignorance.

[Never mind the ignorance of the Bible too]

Thanks for coming clean about your motives that lead you to shuck and jive like a Jehovah's Witness on crank.
