In 9th grade, they say, "Hey, homologous characteristics, evolution must be true" then in college they say, "well, actually the new field of molecular genetics is rearranging the trees. now the homologous characteristics are actually just analagous." So... despite the fact that the odds of getting a four-chambered heart from a three-chambered heart are bad enough for it happening once (seeing as how you have to get enough random mutations in the DNA that just HAPPEN to translate into another whole heart chamber)... now they're asking me to believe it happened twice, in two different evolutionary branches???? Do those odds seem silly to anyone else?? And that's just one example. This crazy phenomenon of 'convergent evolution' has happened hundreds of times. Evolution doesn't even make sense to me anymore!!
