The following are counterexamples to the theory of evolution. If just one of these counterexamples is correct, then the theory of evolution fails.
The following are counterexamples to the theory of evolution. If just one of these counterexamples is correct, then the theory of evolution fails.
* Evolution cannot explain why liberals still exist. Evolution should rid a population of undesirable traits, and since liberals still exist, evolution must be false.
* "Social insects" such as bees, ants, and termites, which have extremely ornate caste systems. Where an insect fits is determined by its diet when young. Evolution requires that both the genetics for the various castes, the genetics for caste determination, and the genetics for ''behavior'' allowing caste determination all appeared simultaneously. Akin to the concept of [[irreducible complexity]], but on a higher (social) order, this is impossible given random chance.

* evolution cannot explain artistic beauty, such as the brilliant autumn foliage and staggering array of beautiful marine fish, both of which originated before any human to view them; this lacks any plausible evolutionary explanation
