You don't pay attention to anyone who shows you how wrong you are.
If someone shows me they can have a good faith discussion....not interject personal insults into their arguments...I pay more attention to what they have to say. I make an effort to respond to their posts. If someone demonstrates they are a jackass, their posts get skimmed if read at all.
In this discussion its like 8 or 9 against 1. I just don't have the time to deal with everyone so Jackasses like you get ignored.

Gazelles and zebra evolved pretty much on the same habitat as lions and cheetahs and hyenas... and yet, these are all different very animals.... and don't get me started on elephants.
Some distinguished scientists, like Simon Conway Morris, argue that convergent evolution is the dominant force in evolution.
The significance of convergent evolution is not a settle matter....probably never will be as it is difficult to quantify.
