I can’t get past primordial soup begetting the first living cell.

The blunder of evolutionary theory is that similar features are evidence for evolution…except when they aren’t.

The Wiki article on convergent evolution is informative, but it lacks the bizarre car story.

The major evolutionary blunder is believing in evolution.

TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed: "The major evolutionary blunder is believing in evolution."

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.
