Listen carefully, FoeHammer:
It looks like a bad case of Fundie Bible Syndrome.
Yep. Pi=3, the Earth is flat, the Sun is made of coal, snakes talk and men live to see their 900th birthday. Hey, why stop there? [/sarcasm]
And this is what happens when you don't understand how translation works or how languages shift.
And red is blue, day is night, etc, etc.
There are certain qualifications a species must make in order to be a mammal.1. Milk Producing. Female whales do have mammary glands, like all mammals do. Fish do not.
2. Warm Bloodedness. Fish are cold blooded (save for sharks). Whales are warm-blooded.
3. Hair/Fur. All mammals have fur, or some remnants thereof. Whales have this too. It's very coarse, but it's there. Fish have no fur whatsoever.
Hooray, I don't have to worry about buying dolphin safe tuna.
...other things that are "true", snakes used to walk and talk, pigs can be possessed by demons, donkeys talk, water shoots out of rocks when you hit them, UFO's, we have a flat earth, a geocentric solar system, people can turn into salt, hair contains one's physical strength, angel rapers creep through towns, zombies exist, god encouraged cannibalism, people can live for days inside a whale, and let's not forget horse-like locusts with human heads, women's hair, lion's teeth, and scorpion's tails, animals from god's own, secret stash.
Mans taxonomy may not concur with Adams.
Hmmmm....
And insects have four legs. The Bible says so, so it must be true. Evilutionists are liars when they say insects don't have four legs. They even went to the trouble of gluing fake legs on to every insect in existence to do this![/sarcasm] You beat me to it.

If the Bible calls a whale a fish then a fish it is. And a bat a bird for that matter.
And bats have fur, have live young and lactate. Therefore, some birds have live young, fur and lactation. It is only heretical modern science that wants to limit birds to feathered, egg laying creatures with wings.
See? The no true scotsman defense at work again.
FoeHammer,
Neither, he's a furry :P
Never mind all that shit, FoeHammer, where the fuck are those bat eggs I sent you out for?
Reminds me of a story my mother told me about a few of her pupils who thought that they had found a bat egg in a cave, during a school trip. Of course, unlike FoeHammer, these kids had the excuse of being about 6 or 7 years old...
yes, because nothing is ever redefined in a 2000 year span. Why, just the other day, i used the expression "rofl" to mean that i was literally rolling on the floor after a comic accident with a lighter (remember, stop, drop, and rofl kids).
Whales and fish are very different. Whales breathe air, and are warm-blooded and give milk to their young.
Fish are cold-blooded, and breathe in water, and don't give milk to their young.
And birds have feathers, and bats have membranous wings.
“If the Bible calls a whale a fish then a fish it is.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
