Nice try.

Okay, I'll play your shell game:

Explain this: How did the relatively huge hind legs (with or without feathers) which no doubt made flight impossible for eons make the creature more fit for survival during those scores of millions of years while its aforementioned legs became more spindly and, therefore, less able to walk, run and hunt but not yet skinny enough to facilitate flight?

Yeah! And while you're at it, I heard there were these funny birds called ostriches and emus. LOL, as if they really exist!

I don't know (no one does) exactly what forms, with what combinations of arms, legs, and feathers, were around and for how long. But we've got essentially flightless birds that also don't run very well living today, so I don't see why there couldn't have been some then. The key probably is living in a jungle.
