Your anecdote is not entirely uninteresting. I assume it is meant to help your argument.
However, if you could tell me of a fish of such biological proximity to an amphibian that it could mate with the amphibian and produce offspring, I would find it more supportive of your argument (although only to a very limited extent).
Are you asking whether God manages gravitational forces?
Yes.
Coyoteman has offered such evidence many many times.

Of course he does. God also manages the laws of motion, which will aid you in transporting yourself to a nearby cinema to see Stein’s movie.
So you believe that your deity did such a bad job putting together the universe that he has to micromanage the most basic of its laws?
John T. Scopes himself, writing 40 years later, said that the whole business was set up in a meeting in the general store with several of the local authorities. They wanted a media circus that would draw attention to Dayton, and they thought a test case of the new law would be just the thing. (They were right.) He just agreed to stipulate that he “taught evolution” for the two weeks that he had substituted for the bio teacher, even though he had no memory of actually doing it.
Yes, but the success of evolutionary algorithms show that natural selection (in the sense that darwinians talk about it) is either impotent or incoherent.
The film I saw did not purport to argue for the vality of ID, if God was mentioned at all, I missed it.
The movie I saw was about the shameless silencing of competent individuals simply for mentioning two words.
You fail to address that central issue entirely.
You are following in the footsteps of Christopher Hitchens, and your position is very weak.
Your argument is reducible to the statement, “I don’t like the way God made the universe.”
How does this advance the atheist view? (Answer: it doesn’t.)
