But that doesn’t mean the Bible is true does it? You just have a lot of people in your church who are strong believers.

The Bible is supposed to be infallible. You just admitted it was fallible since there is a mistake.

The Bible is not meant to be a scientific description of modern biological categories. Instead, it is often written from the perspective of what we see. In other words, it makes generic categorizations. In this case, the bat is categorized as a bird because like birds, it flies and is similar in size to most birds. If we did not know that it was a mammal, it would be natural to call it a bird. To the Hebrew of ancient times, calling it a bird was perfectly logical. But, in modern times we categorize animal species, more specifically and have categorized the bat as a mammal and not a bird.
Also, we must be aware that it is modern science that has a different classification system than ancient times. To the ancients, creatures such as a bat were considered birds since they categorized all flying animals as birds. If that is the category that they used, then they were correct. It is not an error. It is a difference of categorization procedures. The critic has imposed upon the ancient text a modern system of categorization and then said that the Bible is wrong. This is a big error in thinking.

Then how do you explain them calling the earth flat and a circle and standing on pillars then?

So which parts of the Bible are you going to call metaphors? The parts you don’t like? Also that was for the beginning he was talking about
