Bats are not listed in the groups that went on to Noah's Ark. Why?
Did bats go on Noah’s Ark?
Bats are the only
mammals that truly fly. There are around 900 species of them, and
you can find them almost everywhere around the world.
Bat guano (droppings) makes great agricultural fertilizer, and bats can live more than 20 years.
Some Christians ask whether bats went on Noah's Ark. They ask this because Genesis 6:20 says that on to Noah's Ark went every kind of fowl (bird), cattle, and creeping thing.
Bats don't fall into any of those three groups, so did they all die in the worldwide Flood, and if so, how come there are bats around today?
The answer is that the Hebrew word for “fowl”
(owph, pronounced “oaf”) means not only birds,
but anything covered with wings.
That means bats, birds, and even the large extinct flying reptiles, the pterosaurs, went on board the Ark. And that's why they are around today.
Keep in mind too that even though creatures such as bats are not large, it is likely that young breeding pairs of animals made up most of the animals on Noah's Ark.
Goldfish TV makes a big splash!
Goldfish TV started as a joke, but its popularity exploded. Japanese cable television company Asahikawa decided to launch the Goldfish Channel as a joke. For 24 hours a day it televised commercial-free broadcasts of nothing but goldfish. But the joke backfired when the show increased in popularity. Thousands of people each day began watching 12 hours of goldfish alternating with 12 hours of tropical fish.
