Convergent Evolution? How can blind - undirected chance produce the same results?

Evolution - In The Beginning:

How did evolution stumble upon the Signal Recognition Particle (SRP) in the very beginning? An elegant system that scans for an amino acid signal - finds it - binds to that signal then triggers the other elements of the SRP to put the ribosome in pause mode. The SRP then helps the ribosome dock to a membrane tunnel in which it can resume protein synthesis.

How did evolution stumble upon Programmed Cell Death (PCD) again in the very beginning? An altruistic’ cell response causing the death of cells so others might live. Blind and unguided evolution just stumbled upon these systems in life’s beginning?

God save us from the creationists! Darwin had no idea about signal recognition particles. He looked at the holistic process such as "Darwin's Finches, birds that adapted across the Pacific to local environments. He elaborated how the breeding of pigeons was similar to adaptation where selective breeding brought about change. He proposed the mechanism as natural selection as the agent of change.

Archeologists have been digging up fossils and working with related sciences such as geology to piece the evolutionary tree together. They have not been spending time preaching atheism. They just don't find evidence for a 6000 year old earth. It's not just evolutionists, it's also cosmologists and geologists that see a very old earth and even older universe. They are taking care to continue to review new evidence to refine the theory. Creationists on the other hand propose no mechanism other than supernatural agents that they cannot explain.
