... That's because we humnans have identified a classification called "mammals," to which bats are more similar to.

Bats are mammals

It would also be obvious to God that insects have six legs, not four

Once again, that's because "insect" is a classification of animal that we humans have devised.

The quote from Leviticus specifically mentions locusts and/or grasshoppers. All known species of locust or grasshopper have six legs, as do all other insects.

Once again, because we define mammals as those creatures which bear live young and can nurse them. But to expect the precision of Linnean taxonomy from a pre-Linnnean society is ridiculous.

The quote from Leviticus specifically mentions locusts and/or grasshoppers. All known species of locust or grasshopper have six legs, as do all other insects.

Now, that is a fair objection.
