I am no Evolutionist by any means, but there are fish with feet that exist in our real world today.
This is just embarrassing. Dinosaurs have been gone for millions of years.
You said:As much as the hovind family wants to keep the dream alive, in this modern day of advanced technology, where we can use satellite images to track people around the planet, nobody on earth has any evidence for a currently living dinosaur. Or even further, we don't have any evidence of currently living early cenozoic mega fauna either. Because they've been gone for millions of years.
These guys look like they're just trying to sell their books. Nothing more than con artists.
The second photo is not of a fish but of an amphibian called an axolotl.

It is a salamander. Which is a distant relative of tetrapodomophs that were transitional between fish and reptiles.
You have been fed the lie that the earth is millions of years old so much that it has become fact to you. Try reading the Bible more and you will not come away with the conclusion that the Earth is millions of years old. For starters: Just look at the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the line of Mary in Luke chapter 3. Oh, and did you watch the entire video all the way through?
I don't watch the Creation Today Show anymore. In fact, I disagree with the concept of a Creation Ministry. Our ministry is Jesus Christ and not the creation of the world. Yes, I know they at times will talk about Jesus, but that is not good enough. Jesus is the one in whom we preach and it is not Genesis or the creation, or that the Earth is young. Yes, I believe the Earth is young. But that is not what we preach. We preach Jesus Christ and His saving grace, and how He can change our lives. Anyways, my point here is that even a partially blind squirrel can find a nut. The point is not that dragons may exist still today, but they existed in recent history before all the satellites or monitoring technology we have today.
I believe Satan possessed or influenced the serpent, but the serpent is not a code word for Satan (with no actual real serpent present).
And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.”
Revelation 12:9 NASB1995
By whose authority? Some guy in a room who has a lot of Science degrees? Is this creature a Transformer? Looks like a fish to me. For if I were to draw a picture of this creature for you and I did not show you the angle of its feet in my drawing, and I asked you “what is this?” You would say “it's a fish.” So let's stop thinking wordly Scientists (who reject God) determine the truth of things.

Well I think the determining factor would be does it have gills and is it required to breathe air in order to survive. If I’m not mistaken this is the defining characteristics that separate fish from amphibians.
God can speak through a donkey, but Satan can't speak through a snake?The swine possessed by demons expelled from “Legion” did not talk. All they did was destroy themselves.
Have you noticed that nowhere in the Bible is there are command not to listen to talking animals? Where is the command: “If an animal talks to you, don’t listen, the animal is possessed by a demon.” I’ve seen no such verse, and that’s probably because a devil speaking through a possessed animal is impossible.

It's common for salamanders to have gills. But salamanders are not fish. They're amphibians, like frogs.
In fact, at early stages in their lives, frogs also have gills. But we know that frogs are not fish.
Aside from genome sequencing, with respect to anatomy, salamanders have bones on their feet. Whereas fish just use fins.
So in bibles pictures, he posted a yellow fish that used fins to walk. But the axolotl has bones in it's feet.
No I am advocating two things.I assume that you are advocating what has been called newspaper exegesis. How do you know that God intended the Bible to be read as we read a modern newspaper? There were no newspapers when the books of the Bible were written.
I haven’t noticed that creationists are concerned about accuracy. For instance, many creationists believe that the world is only 6,000 years old, although no book of the Bible says any such thing. Creationists simply retain ideas they find interesting, or easy to understand, and dismiss or reject anything they find uninteresting.

I can see that too. It just occurs to me there's a difference between reading the Bible as a textbook versus a non-fiction novel. Because when you start dealing with dialogue between two characters, it's much less about symbolism and more about motive.What I have read is that the serpent/snake being on the ground and 'eating dirt' is a reminder to mankind of what Satan is like and how God is in control.
Also, the axolotl has three pairs of external gills. It is a creature that looks like a fish, but it is classified as an amphibian. But it has gills.
There is no such thing as a transitional fossil. God just made the creature that way (without any Evolution involved). Macro Evolution is a lie, my friend. Darwin (who at the time of his life was an atheist) is the father of Macroevolution. Jesus says a good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bring forth good fruit. So his thoughts were based upon a worldview that rejected God. That is why Macro-Evolution exists. Jeffrey Dahmer said he believed in the lie Macro-Evolution. For he said he did not have to be held accountable to a creator God if everyone just came from the slime. It's no doubt why he killed. Life is meaningless if everything can be explained away by nature means (Which is what Macro-Evolution does). Jeffrey gave his life to Christ before he was killed. You can check out his testimony here:
Look at it's skeleton. It has feet bones rather than walking on fins. It's a salamander. And not just feet bones but it has very explicit digits and rotating wrists.
Frogs look much like the above in their nymph stage. Do you think frogs are fish too?
But it looks like a fish. If I were to draw you a picture of a fish, you would say it is a fish. What if God classified animals differently than the way secular worldly Science (that rejects GOD) classifies them? You do realize that adherents of popular Science of our day rejects GOD, right? So why should we follow their classifications? Should we not go to the Bible instead? Granted, the Bible does not classify the animal kingdom on the same level as Science does, but I think that is the point.
