If the bible is free of error, then why does it state that bats are birds?
Lev. 11:13-19 wrote: "And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls ... the stork, and the lapwing, and the bat."

Not to eat and under the fowl/bird category they list these birds/fowls which include bats.
