# According to evolutionary theory, cavemen with no scientific or genetic knowledge domesticated the wolf (''canis lupus'') into a different species - the dog (''canis familiaris''). However, many experts on dog genetics have created hundreds of different dog breeds over the years through selective mating, but they are all the same species. If the cavemen could create new species seemingly by accident, it stands to reason that experts could do so with intentional effort. But since this has not been done, the wolf-dog example seems false.

# The bacterial flagellum has been proven to be useless when missing a single part of the mechanism. it stands to reason that this must have been created fully formed, and cannot have evolved from a simpler form.the term for this phenomenon is '''irreducibly complex''' and can be seen in countless biological features.
