Hmmm, maybe I gave you too much credit earlier. Maybe you do think whales are "fish with lungs?" Because you definitely think: "The penguin spends much of it's time in the water and has fins that allow it to guide itself through the water.

I knew I called you "Mr. Ornithologist" for a reason.

Right, I forgot, the penguin has "flightless wings" which much resemble fins and just happen to be used as fins in the water. How careless of me ROFL. I knew there was a reason I used the verbage before. Remember, you called me Ornithologist - not because I made any claim; but, so you could poke fun if you didn't like my answer or my answer disarmed you. That is called staging for your debate tactics. I've spent years debating religion and have seen it all. You aren't going to present a dirty debate tactic that I haven't seen or win any debate based on other than the strength of your argument.

Debate 101 - if you are losing on substance, go for style points or try to discredit the other side.
