ConvergenceConvergence: Evidence for a Single Creator
By Fazale (Fuz) R. Rana, Ph.D. Closely related to the phenomenon of repeatable evolution is convergence. Convergence refers to the widespread tendency in nature of unrelated organisms to possess nearly identical anatomical and physiological characteristics. Déjá vu—Again, Part 1 of 2

Many migrating birds fly all night long. Some fly nonstop across huge ecological barriers like the Gulf of Mexico. For decades, biologists have wondered how these creatures can survive the severe sleep deprivation brought about by such migration habits. Flightless Birds Run Down Evolution

Great minds think alike, so the saying goes. There is some truth to this old adage. When several people... Inability to Repeat the Past Dooms Evolution
Posted by Fazale ‘Fuz’ Rana, Ph.D. Experimental Support for Historical Contingency Challenges Biological Evolution Repeatable Evolution or Repeated Creation?
By Fazale Rana Any casual observer of nature recognizes that many creatures bear some resemblance to one another. Many species of frogs, lizards, fish, and other animals and plants from different parts of the world appear to be nearly identical. This similarity has been the pattern throughout life’s history. Salamander Study Challenges Evolutionary Theory
By Fazale R. Rana, Ph.D. If one were to push the rewind button, erase life’s history and let the tape run again, the results would be completely different. So goes evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould’s metaphor for the evolutionary process.1 Biological evolution should not repeat itself. And yet scientific advance, including a new study of salamanders, continues to demonstrate that evolution does “repeat” itself.
