Lol. It does not matter what classification we use now and what classification they used back then. The bible says this. You say the bible is true 100% of the time. Stop making excuses for your stupid beliefs, kid.

@liduq: "There are lots of very smart people who believe in God and His Word."
Just because "smart people" believe in something doesn't make it true. Lots of smart people used to believe the Earth was flat. They were wrong.
"At least this young man has the heart to defend his beliefs"
Good for him, but he's still an idiot. Belief in an invisible, telepathic super-being who created the universe in a few days is irrational at best, downright stupid at worst.

@mikefromwa You permit yourself to treat this boy as an imbicile and an idiot because he is young.
There are lots of very smart people who believe in God and His Word. Scientists, academics, doctors, lawyers, judges, businessmen, teachers, etc. Even your country is built on Christian principles.
At least this young man has the heart to defend his beliefs, and if you noticed, he did it without insulting anyone.
And I'm sure you've never read the Bible, you've just heard others talk about it...

Hebrew word ''owph'' mean : Flying creatures, birds or insects. So, it's just a bad translation.
The Bible was written by prophets and scribes under the orders of the prophets, and the prophets were inspired of God.
Nobody ever said that the Bible was written by God Himself. But it remains THE WORD OF GOD.
Who knew at that time, the hare was a ruminant? Leviticus 11:6. Yet science considers the hare as a ruminant.

Only an imbecile would believe in any form of religion. Your pathetic attempts to justify the nonsense contained in the bible only makes you look like a complete idiot.

The whole argument is a strawman. The verse is quite plainly saying what not to ADD to the fowl, here: [verse13`And these ye do abominate of the fowl; they are not eaten, an abomination they [are]: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, ...] Young's literal translation

@scotzbhoy Not neccesarily, because no one would actually "change" a definition of something unless it has a flaw or a "curable paradox" or anything like that. And even if we did, the BIble would still be correct because that was what they recognized at that time, so further copies of the Bible would probably change slightly as well. (Not to say i believe in God or anything, I'm neutral.)

@VeggieTrunks Who knows, because it's the genetics and the DNA studying that decides that. And that's kinda writen in stone. (LOL). It could change easily though since the term "birds" is a class when the term "bats" is an order. By the way, Pluto was never a planet, we were just fixing a mistake. And I don't see any problem with that. So if China decides Bats ARE Birds, (You're not supposed to capatilize them, but who cares, you did!)then that might change the world... It's called PROGRESS.

@ellimist6 because if he couldn't fuck with us he'd get really bored

i thought you valued my opinion... calling me retarded isn't very nice... i think your speech teacher would tell you that verbally attacking the opposition themselves makes your argument look a lot weaker
The fact that they didn't have today's classification scheme is the point. An omniscient being would know better than to lump bats in the same category as birds.

If the Bible is supposed to be prepared for our every change in natural understanding of unalterable data -- then all we'd have to do to make the Bible "wrong" is change our terminology on things. If the Bible says, "the sky is blue," we can change our definition of what is "blue" and then say that the Bible is wrong.
