Hmmmmn.

Been a long, long time since penguins could fly.....

Do the evolutionaries think 1.5 million years enough time to go from a true loooooong-range bird (like the seagull obviously) to a near fish/porpoise that is the modern sea-swimming, fat-unsulated, feather-smoothed, stream-lined penguin (or the fat dumpy land-based dodo bird)?

See - EVERYTHING has to change from species one to species two (according to evolutionary theory), and in the middle, there's little advantage to the "half-bird/half-fish" freak to continue to live through enough generations - each getting progressively "worse" until finally the last "penguin design" works efficiently.

Of course, then they tell us that the last "design" (of the final penguin bird-shape or dodo bird shape) doesn't continue to change.

Hmmmmn.

Now, what's makes more sense (logically) is that there was a Designer of the penguin ... and He either hiccupped (or sneezed) at the wrong point in time and accidently made a few dodo birds.

And probably a few liberals too.

According to evolution theory, any evolution would give the new species a survival advantage over the old. So it must be that no losing the ability to fly would improve the birds' survival chances.

What, then you're saying all those ducks (surely "'half-bird/half-fish' freaks" by your standard) are going to go extinct any day now?

Ask them why we don't see macro-evolution today and the response is; "because it takes a long time".
Ask them why we don't find the plethora of transition fossils and they say; "because it happened quickly".
