LOL.
I can’t get past primordial soup begetting the first living cell.
Evos typically say that's not formally a part of evolution theory...so therefore that's not a problem.
bttt
In before the Helen Thomas picture
History has distorted that term completely.
It’s actually Primordiaella soup!!
It’s an Italian dish.
Mom used to make it on Sundays :)
I remember watching a report on that car on channel 7 Eyewitness News back in 1975!
I wanted to find out more about the imaginary car...
Then it turned into an exposition of an entirely different topic.
Interesting, to be sure, but I STILL wanted to find out about the car.
I’m no engineer but the balance looks a bit iffy on that design.
The Wiki article on convergent evolution is informative, but it lacks the bizarre car story.

The major evolutionary blunder is believing in evolution.
If you’re going with three wheels, that’s the right way to do it. The wrong way results in something like the Reliant Robin (produced until 2002!). Now those are really easy to tip over in a corner.
Its only not part of evlolution when one seeks its credentials. When applied in support of materialism its routinely presued as proven so thouroughly that one must be an anti science dunce to doubt it.
Of course, if you don't accept the science in evolution, then anything like "convergent evolution" would make no sense.
"Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages.
Convergent evolution creates analogous structures that have similar form or function but were not present in the last common ancestor of those groups."
A point to remember here is that years ago the degree to which different species were related was not really known for sure.
Today, however, DNA analyses show exactly how closely or distantly different species are related and provide answers for questions like, "when did certain features first arise?"
So, if distantly related species share similar features, DNA analysis can reveal which features were present in their last common ancestor.
Similar features not present in a common ancestor can be said to result from "convergent evolution".
Of course, you are free to reject its assumptions, but the science is consistent and confirmed innumerable times.
