Ed, I made some clarifications here. One little problem, perhaps not solvable, is that the reason given ID explaining this is tautologic.--PalMDtalk 19:52, 30 March 2007 (EDT)
- There's also the problem that it uses the term "convergent evolution" without explaining it. Sounds like evolutionists, who already assume evolution must be true, couldn't account for it so they just gave it a name that fits their theory?
- A bit like saying that those size 0 models who keep fainting on runways starve themselves because of anorexia.
What the theory explains
Convergent evolution is a theory used by scientists to explain how animals that have similar lifestyles, although otherwise unconnected, may develop striking resemblances to one another, by having to adapt to similar environments.
- Where's the explanation? It's like saying my TV picture appears because of TV reception.
What is reception? What is received? How does it get to my TV? What made it? --Ed Poor 20:09, 30 March 2007 (EDT)
