God Gametes and the Planet of the Butterfly Queen

Dawkins has looked for the answer and found what he wanted but his suggested reason for this convergence is incorrect and does not support the Darwinian theory of evolution.
===
if one is to assume to know a range of equations based on assumed facts,
then one must be ready to realign the equations to help draw light on the percieved facts.
just as much as assumed facts only remain to be so as far as rose coloured glasses allow.

this is a core scientific process that has been perverted by religions and conservative doctrines and practices.

this system begins at the birth of a single cell and ends with the self destruction of a civilisation.
it has happened many times before and this current civilisation is yet to prove it is not soo ignorant and ready to admit to new concepts of thought.
the concept of the life "cycle" is only a self fulfilling prophacey for those who covert self ritchouse know-it-all mentallity.
all the schools of the world, universitys and governments are run by this fataly flawed system!
the majority are afraid of change!
and too lazzy to think for themselfs!
so the seed is sowen.

and so shall the crop be growen.


groove on all :)
peace light truth love
the path to that we hold above
 
Convergent Evolution

The following is another example of convergent evolution that can not be explained by Darwinism but is in conformity with the God Gametes theory.

Cichlids

Cichlids are another interesting case of convergent evolution. These species of fish are found in lakes and rivers in Central and South America, Asia, Madagascar and tropical Africa. They are often kept in aquariums because of their intriguing mating and spawning rituals and are also noted for the extended maternal care of their young. They are popular with fish lovers everywhere. The sides and belly of the female cichlid take on a red to purple colour prior to breeding and pelvic fins are similarly coloured and appear to play an important part in attracting a mate. When receptive to a male the female signals by holding the coloured pelvic fins tight against her body. Another interesting mating ritual can be observed if two females are in a tank with one male. Female cichlids will compete fiercely, swimming towards each other aggressively with bellies pushed out and sometimes holding them out for extended periods before veering off.
The colour of cichlids’ belly and pelvic fins, their mating and spawning rituals and their extended paternal care are common to both South American and African cichlids. These species must have evolved independently so their similarities are attributed to convergent evolution. Darwinists argue that because both occupy the same environmental niche they have been forced by natural selection to converge on the same design and mating rituals.
It is suggested that species will select at random, traits that may or may not be adaptable to their environment. If traits selected are non-adaptive, individuals with them will not be successful and do not pass on these genetic endowments to progeny. The Darwinian argument is that species will converge on the same formula over and over because it is the genetic endowment best adapted for their trade and environmental niche.
The first point to be made is that contrary to the Darwinist belief, these species do not occupy the same environmental niche. This can best be argued by pointing out that the family of cichlids has some 700 different member species. If they speciated 700 different times, presumably this has been to exploit 700 different niches.
Cichlids range in size from the diminutive neolamprologus multifasciatus13 that grows to about 3 cm. and makes its home inside a shell,14 to a group among the pike cichlids that normally grow to over 30 cm.15 When kept in an aquarium their preferred water pH levels range from 5.0 to 9.5. The different species are variously described as omnivore, opportunist piscivore, specialised predator, substrate sifter, snail feeder, algal grazer, micropredator and ambush predator. They are open spawners, cave spawners, open pit and pit spawners, leaf spawners, shell spawners, substrate spawners, step breeders, maternal mouthbreeders and bi-parent mouthbreeders. They have a male to female sex ratio that varies from 1:1 to 1:4 and the behaviour of different Cichlids species varies from shy to ultra-aggressive. Their family structures can be either monogamous or polygamous.16
Cichlids are an example of a family of fish speciating for the purpose of exploiting a number of different niches. They have evolved divergent physical morphologies so as to adapt to a diverse range of environmental conditions. Darwinists cannot argue that similarities in unrelated South American and African species has resulted from their adaptation to the same niche.
The interesting thing about cichlids is not their similarity of external morphology or exploitation of a similar trade but the same mating rituals and the convergence of their red stomachs and pelvic fins. Many West African species evolved the same sexual characteristics, the same spawning rituals and extended maternal care as South American cichlids. Darwinists have not identified the environmental conditions that forced the South American and West African cichlids to converge on the same red stomachs and the same spawning rituals. It is likely there is a selective advantage to the extended maternal care but this would be common to all environmental conditions, not just the adaptation to a niche that Darwinists argue has driven their convergence.
The Darwinian argument needs to demonstrate that the intriguing mating and spawning rituals of cichlids have contributed to their reproductive success and if this can be done it would then be interesting to know why such a selective advantage has been isolated to only one family of fish. Without evidence to support their argument that these similarities were driven by natural selection, we must assume that cichlids are another example of convergent evolution that cannot be explained by the Darwinian theory of evolution.
