the funny thing is that Darwin, supposedly being smart, mentioned that the change between bird and fish were flying fish........Sounds a little out there if you ask me

Hey! Can we disprove Physics next by showing that Aristotle was not always right? C'mon, guys, let's GO!

Furthermore, it's impossible to find or to have found missing links. If you find them, they're no longer missing.

No he didn't. He used the example of the flying fish as a case where an animal exhibits what could be a primitive form of certain features in the process of adapting to a lifestyle different than that of other fishes, i.e. flying through the air. It was an hypothetical example and a thought experiment on the nature of transitional forms, homologous structures, and modification of body parts for functions they did not originally possess which, over long periods of time, could take on "high degrees of perfection" in their role. Thus he imagined that if flying fish had continued to develope better flying fins, that one day they might have concievably reached a point where they were very well-adapted for living out of the water and catching food on the wing as birds are. Thus, in this imaginary example, who could ever concieve that such a well-suited structure as the imaginary flying creature's wing could have at one time been the fin of a fish, used to locomote in water only?

I believe the human mind is not yet capable to comprehend the origin of matter. (molecules, bacteria, humans) I do believe the human mind is capable of creating a world wide conspiracy using an occult-esque form of a pyramid scheme, by brainwashing people with a false promise of life after death. I see people saying non-believers will go to hell..trust me hell sounds alot nicer than not existing.

The origin of matter has very little to do with the origin of man and other life forms, since the two are quite separated by billions of years. We don't need to know how matter came about initially to know that eventually, some of it turned into people.

Flying fish can fly for several yards across the surface of the sea. A lot of people think that they do this to catch bugs, but they don't. Actually I have no idea why they do this. I think I will wiki this now.

It is. Much like the "theory of gravity". But how many people are willing to jump off a cliff and see how well that one stands up?

Oh sorry, I should have written that I could not tell if it was a serious statement instead of one that the person knew better than to do.

Yes, so... you were going to say something a little more useful, perhaps?
