Lev. 11:13, 19 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls...And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. (See also Deut. 14:11, 18)

The bible is pure fiction, and not even good fiction at that,... but I'd like to know where it says that?
Verse, please.
Edit... That's too funny! Thanks!!

What you failed to mention is God was telling the Israelites what they could and could NOT eat. He also mentioned things in the sea with no fins.
Don't take things out of context.
Read all of Exodus 11 and don't just pick out scripture at random.

The bible is not an audubon field guide to wildlife of the bronze and iron ages. Rather it is a record, set down by the Israelites while moved by God to do so, of man's interaction with God.
As such, its domain is faith, not Linnaean classification.

and Pi does not equal three.
Egyptians and India had developed math by this time; so the book's authors had no excuse - IF they were writing a 100% "correct" book.
Therefore, they were not.
the laundry list of errors and contradictions support such a conclusion.

God made them, he can call them as he pleases when you make your first creation, you can do so as well

You don't have to and nothing that is said here will make you change your mind, and you won't change anybody's mind with your comments, so why waste all of our time with questions like these?

"birds" means "things that fly" or "things that have wings".
