The difference is simple. In one case we have structural similarity that has a functional explanation (wolves).

Evolutionists are puzzled by the phenomenon of structural similarity in spite of functional diversity so therefore it is powerful evidence for evolution?!? I wonder how you think you are going to persuade scientists with arguments like this. |
No, Theobald indicates that the similarity is superficially puzzling, but makes perfect sense if you consider common ancestry. You seem to have this exactly backwards.
And you never responded to my previous comment about structure vs. proportions. Maybe you missed it, so I'll try again. Look at dog breeds. They all share a basic dog structure, but the proportions of the structure can vary tremendously. So it seems far easier for differences in prportions to evolve than it is for differences in structure.
Seriously, dude, this should stuff should be pretty easy to understand. Maybe you should look into taking an intro bio course at a local community college or something.
