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 1000
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. (The record seems to be 41 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 bats 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.
No bat evolution
Another interesting point to keep in mind about bats is that there is absolutely no evidence that bats evolved.
You can safely say to an evolutionist that you believe bats were created as bats in the beginning and that the first bats were as clearly identified as bats as today's bats. They will not be able to present any evidence to show you are wrong, because there is none.

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.
