Convergent Evolution Myth Wrecked by Blind Cavefish
Although secularists will not admit it, convergent evolution is essentially a secular miracle. It is claimed that various critters have similar traits (such as bats and dolphins both using echolocation) that evolved independently. There is no evidence for such traits evolving even once, but the claim is made for multiple creatures.
Though convergent evolution is a myth, it is an icon of particles-to-professor evolution. One of the alleged examples of it and evolution in general is the blind cavefish. Darwin's disciples point to loss of traits (such as their blindness) as examples of evolution.

Within the ever-expanding theory of evolution, there is a system of specialized language designed to identify each major interpretative concept. Some terminology is so versatile that it could be applied to a unique observation or a broad set of patterns across extensive scales of time and space. Such terms appear to be intentionally flexible, or even modifiable. From the introduction of a prestigious book of essays, Keywords in Evolutionary Biology, the authors state,
