| − | {{QuoteBox|As Walter ReMine points out so clearly, the evolutionist has a seemingly endless smorgasbord of stories which can be used ''post-facto''. If organisms not related by a phylogenic evolutionary tree show dramatically similar features one reads this is due to ‘evolutionary convergence’. However, if organisms in very similar environments fail to display apparent similarities, convergence had not occurred. Such rationalizations are free of substance and an inadequate substitute for hard evidence.<ref>Truman, Royal, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/1824 Dare to question the materialist high priests], ''Journal of Creation'' 15(1):34–38, April 2001.</ref>}} | + | {{QuoteBox|As Walter ReMine points out so clearly, the evolutionist has a seemingly endless smörgåsbord of stories which can be used ''post-facto''.
