A scientific theory proven by the logical principal of deduction  cannot permit any counterexamples.  In order to be true, the [[theory of evolution|theory of evolution by natural selection acting upon random mutation]] must be able to explain the origins of '''''all''''' living things in terms of a purely naturalistic view.

'''If any of the counterexamples listed below 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'''.

* Parsimonious repetition of design elements throughout creation, e.g. the eye's appearance in remarkably different species.  For such complex structures to [[convergent evolution|arise repeatedly via evolution]] is [[statistical_impossibility | impossible]], as evolution is an inherently random and historically contingent process.

* Mutations cause a loss of information, rendering it mathematically impossible for mutations to advance the complexity of life.  Similarly, entropy (disorder) increases over time, making it impossible for order to increase on its own.

* "the loss and addition of large DNA sequence blocks are present in humans and gorillas, but not in chimps" even though "the gorilla is lower on the primate tree than the chimp and supposedly more distant to humans. How could these large blocks of DNA--from an evolutionary perspective--appear first in gorillas, disappear in chimps, and then reappear in humans?"<ref>http://www.icr.org/article/4624/</ref>
