"Recently, evolutionists have declared a 9+ foot long dinosaur fish to be their ancestor."
Not quite, bucko. Well, not a direct ancestor anyway.
Nice attempt at distortion though. Either you're too dim-witted to understand what you read or you understand it just find and are intentionally misrepresenting it. Either way it doesn't reflect well on you.
"News stories read “Missing Link Fossil Discovered.”"
And? A "missing link" (a misnomer in itself) was discovered. In the exact place the theory of evolution said it should be. Science at work. How about that?
"This is all because, as the evolutionists claim, the dino-fish had fins with internal skeletal bones."
I haven't kept up on it. I suppose that could be one of the reasons. What of it?
"Wow! A 9-foot fish with bones in its fins! If that isn’t your forefather, I don’t know what is."
Like I said, it's not a direct ancestor you jackass. Try searching Google for "Tree of Life" and then take a look at where Tiktaalik is and where we are.
"It also had scales, jaws that were at least a foot long, a tail, and gills... not lungs."
Like I said, I haven't been keeping up with it but I'm fairly certain it had some form of rudimentary lungs.
"But because the fish had fin bones, evolutionists say it could walk across land. Confused?"
No. Not really. Hell, you can see fish today that can walk across land. Ever heard of a mudskipper?
"Never fear, “scientists” are on the case."
Hence the reason you're able to spout such stupidity on a global forum for all the world to see.
"They plan to attempt to find more of these ancestor fish, as well as “try to determine why this fish found it useful to leave the water.” (quoted from Bloomberg)"
Yes. And? If you can determine why they adapted in that direction you can not only learn more about their environment (and the environment in general at the time) but also predict where to look for their next step in evolution, assuming Tiktaalik wasn't an evolutionary dead end.
"So the fish found it useful to leave the water... that’s how they grow legs."
No. They "grew legs" through evolution--which is not a conscious effort--because the trait was beneficial to have. Why it was beneficial to have is the question which, as you so kindly pointed out, scientists are trying to figure out.
"Take notes, because this could be on a test in a public school (Thank you, ACLU)"
It's already on the tests you moron. Not phrased in quite such an asinine way nor does it likely mention Tiktaalik in particular but the question of how such a creature would come about is already asked on school tests, I'm sure.
