You need bones in the "arms" in order to have enough wingspan for flight. Archaeopteryx did not have that.

This is wrong. The bones are not fused, as in modern birds. The forelimb is a raptorian foreclaw, with luxurious feathers. Archaeopteryx could almost certainly fly--poorly. The arm bones are not the problem. The problems are elsewhere.

Your zest for the ‘evolution cause’ is somewhat intriguing. I’m just curious, and don’t take this wrong, but what exactly is your goal? If it is to prove that we all came into being by some natural occurrence… I would think that cosmology is where you should start – then biology – then philosophy.

Man, you got your hands full…
What is your goal here again? More importantly, what do you believe concerning the existence of God?
