The Statler Waldorf Balcony

[Zen Badger]

Oh really? Like you have any idea what goes into being published in a Creation Peer-reviewed journal. I challenge you to write and article and try to be published. If they are really as bad as you make them out to be, then it should be pretty easy for you to get published right? You'd get rejected.

That would be very simple,

First you buy a creationist college degree, then you spout a whole lot of pseudo scientific bullshit like anisotropic light propagation.
Then you finish that bullshit with ".......this therefore shows that the bible is right"

Easy.

Zen, you asked me to come up with a classification system such that what we call "birds" would be classified with "bats". I did that. What is the problem? How was my classification system "wrong"?

True, it is not technically wrong, it doesn't address the issue, but it is not wrong.

Actually, the Bible doesn't really even say that the bat is a bird. The Hebrew word translated as "bird" can merely mean "flying creature". So, why not substitute "flying creature" for "bird" in Leviticus 11:13 for whatever translation you are reading.

The word used is fowl, and since the passage then goes on to list a whole group of actual birds but leaves out insects(most of which have wings) various gliding mammals, pteranodons etc then the people who wrote it thought that bats were fowl.

Seems pretty clear to me that is what that whole passage means anyway. You just seem to be stuck in thinking that the only classification system possible is the one currently in use.

Feel free to quote an alternative classification system that can sensibly class bats as birds.
