The ancient Jews did not classify animals as we do, the word, or idea of the word mammals and all life classified under it is relitivly new. Your comparing a classification system that is only a couple hundred years old to a text/understanding of a people several thousand years old. A people who had no concept of your modern classification. How is that a fair compareson? How do we know your compareson is unfair?

When your god's knowledge is limited  by the knowledge of the culture that venerates him, that's a good indicator that he's an invention. I'm not saying they should know the Linnaean system.  I'm saying that they should know the difference between avians and mammals. Do you honestly think they were so stupid they couldn't tell? And even if they couldn't, wouldn't your god know? I mean,, he's the one who issued those dietary restrictions.

An all-knowing god could simply "inspire" the biblical author to say "don't eat these birds, and don't eat bats."

I may or may not get to the rest of your drivel.  It's too soon after waking up for me to wade through Biblical horseshit or inane walls of text.

Bat eggs, of course, are fine to eat.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
