Flying Fish Fluster Evolutionists
The word flying is used in some critters such as flying squirrels, but they really do not fly. Glide, yes. Flying fish are enigmatic. Although they do not have wings per se, they use fins as gliders and other fins as propulsion. Also, they have close relatives with similar layouts that do not fly.
Except for fossils showing that earlier flying fish had evolved the capacity to deploy machine guns on their wings and shoot down adversaries —
Disciples of the Bearded Buddha cannot explain powered flight in birds and bats, so flying fish are added and all are evosplained by convergent evolution. That is, they cannot explain single instances of flight, so gullible people will buy it lumped together.

Just checking.
Something else that gives Darwin the sads is that there is no sign of evolution in the fossil record. One scientist said the fossil record on them is "very poor." I take that to mean there is nothing available to be cobbled together and claimed to be evidence of evolution. Instead, this creature like another instance of the Creator having a bit of fun with those who deny his power.
Yes, some fish can fly. They fly quite well, though not in the way a bird does, by flapping its wings. After powerfully propelling themselves at speed from the water, ‘flying fish’ spread their ‘wings’ (really their pectoral fins) and glide. Some groups also use their (smaller) pelvic fins to add lift, acting like a tailplane or stabilizer in flight. These are ‘four-winged’.
