How do evolutionist explain the evolution of blubber in the arctic cold?

Evolution of a particular gene takes years to adapt and in the arctic,life must adapt in seconds to survive. Imagine yourself as sea lion pup in the ice age. A sea lions pup needs that gene now, not millions years from now. Unless it already has or its ancestor had that gene, then it would have it.i If not, it dies and if none of the sea lions have blubber in them.They will dead in not minutes but in a few seconds especially in the waters. If one is to pass on the genes for the next generation, one must be able to do so.There were dinosaurs that lived in the cold weather so did they have blubber gene. Evolution was a theory developed on an tropical island where it is warm.

It didn't happen in seconds and it doesn't have to be so. Seals born with the genes that cause blubber will survive while those without will die. This happened a long time ago in a different envirnment. Because of evolution, the seals you mentioned have this gene and they survive. Are some still born without the blubber gene? Perhaps, but they would not survive and thus not reproduce, keeping the gene pool filled with genes that contain blubber.
Dinosaurs...? That's your "gotcha" evidense? How about hairy elephants? Evolution doesn't work in the cold? It's in the harshest environments that evolution is most visible.
Read a book about evolution before you try and disprove it with a "gotcha" question.
