Would you believe that the blind, unguided process of evolution repeats itself? Would you believe that evolution somehow repeats striking patterns of change? Evolutionists do.

"This evidence contradicts evolutionary expectations, but what's new?" What expectations are these? (and whose exactly?).JTaylor

It seems evolutionists/materialists believe in miracles, upon miracles, upon miracles, just never acknowledging that there could actually be a "Miracle Maker": Off topic: Turin Shroud Hologram Reveals The Words "The Lamb" - short video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XLcdaFKzYg 'Holy Spirit' by Nate Sallie - Shroud Hologram http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOHzgVh89eE A Quantum Hologram of Christ’s Resurrection? http://www.khouse.org/articles/2008/847 Shroud Of Turin Carbon Dating Overturned By Scientific Peer Review - Robert Villarreal - Press Release video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEJPrMGksUgbornagain77

Well I could certainly believe it, the structure of life as we know it places constraints on what chance can do, the piece you link to recognizes this: What would that say about the roles of contingency, constraint, and adaptation? Given that constraints of various forms exist it seems (to me) likely that certain similar looking patterns would appear more than once. If you factor in recurring ecological changes, like a niche slowly changing because of an eroding river valley then you may well see repeating cycles of adaptation. I'm don't see how any of this is inconsistent with the core of the evolutionary hypothesis.Excession
