First of all there is in itself no convergence of evolutionary trees.

Try this one. (Linked the wrong section earlier.)

Problem was not the link, I saw the part you intended, problem is that the source (TalkOrigins) is not telling the truth. As I have said, the different evolutionary trees by different evolutionists have vast differences. Below is an example of how big they are just in regards to the fairly small amount of items (and widely divergent ones at that!) in the Cambrian phyla:

Alternative Views of Metazoan Pylogeny (from Wllace Arthur, "Animapl Body Plans" page 58)


Source Monophiletic? Offshoots? Bilateria? Protostomes & deuterosotomes Arthopoda Other Clusters
Nursall N N/A N N Y M
Barnes N Y Y D N L
Margulis & Schwartz Y Y Y D Y MA
Willmer N Y N D N L
Barnes Y Y Y P + D Y M
Schram Y Y Y D Y MA
Backeljau Y Y Y D Y MA
Conway Morris Y Y Y P + D Y A
Raff Y Y Y P + D Y LM
Nielsen Y Y* Y P + D Y MA

Notes:
* = Yes for Cnidaria, Placozoan, but no for Ctenophora.
Y, N, N/A = Yes, No, Not Applicable
D, P = Deutrostome monophly, protsotome monophyly
L. M. A - Lophophorates; a Mollus/Annelid/Anthropod group; Aschelminthes
