What distinguishes a fantasy book from the bible?

RE: What distinguishes a fantasy book from the bible?
You do not see it because you do not wish to see it.

Are you seriously trying to sell the idea that science can have nothing to say on a book like bible, or The Chronicles of Narnia?

Let's say that I am told to sit down, with three texts, 2 of which have talking animals( Bible, Narnia) 1 of which does not (Garden Insects of North America), and I wouldn't be able to make at least 1 classification between them, based on the body of scientific evidence available to me? I could not say that the bible belongs to a group of texts with talking animals, and that talking animals do not appear to exist. Could I not give this type of writing a header...say......Fiction?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
