Convergent evolution can be explained by two species that have very different evolutionary trajectories, They can be different as in bats that ecolate like dolphins, but also in animals lik butterflies that are separed with thousands of years.
Evolution is merely
assumed. There is a much better explanation: bats and dolphins were designed
that way.
