RoadGumby: "Wolves, dogs, coyote, are Canines “dogs”. Breed them into FISH. Or perhaps a BIRD."

But nobody, nobody ever claimed that's what happened or happens in nature.
So you are just making a straw-man argument.

The geological record suggest that ancestors of fish and land animals first split apart circa 400+ million years ago.
Land animals split into amphibians and reptiles maybe 350 million years ago, and reptiles with proto-mammals circa 320 million years ago.
Birds split from reptiles about 150 million years ago -- all of these dates subject to debate and revision, but the orders of magnitude stand up to many different tests.

RoadGumby: "Evolution, the changing of form into an organism that is NOT what it originated from is NOT."

But nobody ever claimed instantaneous changes from one species to another.
The fossil records show that all major changes take place over many millions of years, with many "transitional forms".

Except that THAT IS what evolution claims. A fish climbed out of the primordial pond, became a land animal, a non-fish, that changed further until we have all that we have today.
