Sure. Except when the infallible One screwed up and called bats birds in Leviticus 11:19.

Well, God called called them fowls...We call fowls, birds...

Lev 11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.

You know of any birds that travel by creeping on the ground, on ALL FOUR??? I can't think of any at the moment...

If God says bats are fowls, then they are fowls regardless of what scientists say...And when God says some of these 'birds' walk on four legs, I'll believe Him...I don't have to see one to believe it...

God made these things...If I can't figure it out, that's not God's problem...It's mine...

I'll give you points for honesty. But I won't mistake your willful ignorance for integrity.

A fowl is a bird. All birds have feathers. Feathers (and some other characteristics, but we'll keep it simple) define a bird. Period.

Bats are mammals. Bats do not have feathers. Bats nurse their young through mammary glands are are covered with hair. Birds do not have hair and do not have mammary glands. Period.

As for birds walking on all fours, you have three choices: There exists a quadpedal bird somewhere we haven't found yet, the Bible is referring to dinosaurs from which birds evolved, or the Bible messed up again.

If the last option, that's okay. You're on the right path to realizing the Bible does that a lot.
