It mentions several animals and plants, but not these....
The same for polar bears.....
Why would the "book of books" written by "God himself" would fail to mention some of his creations, and more importantly, some of mankind's STAPLES?

This biblical list of animals fails to include such "God's creations"

I'm sure the condor is quite hard to ignore, being the bird with the largest wingspan, or the llama, its neck can't be bypassed by lame coneys......

(By "Corn" I mean "Maize", Zea mays)

FYI: They're all from America.....
And if this is such a ridiculous question, why bother answering it?
The fool uses ad-hominem arguments due to a lack thereof....

Diamondbacks and hummingbirds are staples to human existence?
Hmm.
Interesting..
Well, either way, as one already said - it's a collection of religious allegorical stories, not a taxonomy reference book.

yet another idealogical question asked by a militant atheist out to show the world the bible's suposed "falsehood" Dude if you truely want to know the answer to this question. I really feel sorry for you. People will try everything to disprove the bible. Are you serious ? The bible had more important things to deal with besides corn and chilli. This is such a rediculous question and if it weren't for its obvious intent I would say it was pointless.

Christianity has never maintained that the Bible was written by God. The Bible was written by authors living in ancient Israel, none of whom had ever seen a condor.

They are quite extraordinary to us, but why would they specifically need to be in the Bible just because of their complexity and their physical traits? There is nothing significant enough to mention them specifically in the Bible. He fails to mention MANY of His creations, and that is because it was not needed, and really doesn't have anything directly justifying their entrance into the Bible when their description is not directly linked to religion and preaching the word of God.

Beause there is no need for it. We know they are there, the bible is a hang manual for life- not a list of things

Because the original scribes didn't know how to spell those words in Arameic.
God was PISSED with them when he read the final edition of what he had dictated, let me tell you!

Oddly, it also fails to mention that the Earth is a sphere, not a disk.

Oh I see. You think that the Bible is an encyclopedia about everything. Try reading it, you might learn something.

it was meant solely to justify
Power of your actions, thinking and ideas
control of your will and emotions
and to justify abusing you calling it "god's will" saying others have authority over you
Power, Control, Authority

because they cut that out of the bible along with Jesus being in love with Mary Magdalen and Jesus killing someone and then bringing him back to life
