Skeptics love to point out that bats are not fowl. But their error is that the scripture does not say they are. It says they are 'flying things'. It is an error to make rash judgements concerning the integrity of the Word of God based on English translations.
* fowls ‘owph עוף - fly [2].
 
    Before you say God can't be trusted, be sure you are reading what he actually said. Many a skeptic will stand before God with an accusation, like Roseanne Roseannadanna [1], completely ignorant of the issue, who can only respond "Nevermind" when confronted with her misunderstanding of a simple word.
    fowls ‘owph עוף - fly [2].
