Inquiry:

Are birds from the water or the ground? Genesis 1:20-21 reads, “And God said, ‘Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creatures that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.’ And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind; and God saw that it was good.” However, Genesis 2:19 reads, “And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.” Is there a contradiction?

The bat is not a bird! In Leviticus 11:13-19, we read, “And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the ossifrage, and the osprey, and the vulture, and the kite after his kind; every raven after his kind, and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, and the little owl, and the comorant, and the great owl, and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.” Again, Deuteronomy 14:11-18 declares, “Of all clean birds yet shall eat. But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagles, and the ossigrage, and the osprey, and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, the little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, and the pelican, and the grier eagle, and the cormorant, and the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.” Is there a contradiction?
