"OK. Not magic. It would be an aspect of evolution we didn't understand or foresee.

The theory would be modified."

The theory would have to be almost completely rewritten. So would a good deal of modern genetics and embryology.

Of course, this example is a non sequitur since nothing remotely like it has ever been observed. Any individual that was born as a new species would die out, being unable to breed. The TOE is not compatible with saltations.

I wouldn't call it a non-sequitar, but yes. It's not really a realistic example, so why would you use it as the first example you have of how evolution could be contradicted?

Do you have a real example?
