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...

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.

Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Lev 11:14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; Lev 11:15 Every raven after his kind;
Lev 11:16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind,

Hmmm...God even shoots down the theory of evolution within a species...

God doesn't use the word mammel...That's a science word...If God says a bat is a fowl, then it's a fowl...

Let's see here...I can either believe you and science, or, I can believe God...Guess who I'm going to believe...
