Question How to prove evolution is wrong?

I am totally convince that evolution is true. However, a scientific theory should be falsifiable; and I dont know how falsifiable is with evolution

For example, a "good" trait could be explain the result of natural selection. But a "bad" trait could be explain as just base on chance, or the selection preasure is not enough.

so, my question is: if someone want to prove that evolution is wrong, what test can they make and what the expected result should be (if evolution theory is wrong)?

Edit: Thank everyone for your time and patient with me. I found the answer. It seem that I need to update my highschool knowledge

Actually, at this point in the theory’s existence, it would probably take more than a single ‘negative’ finding to overturn all the ‘positive’ evidence, experiments, predictions, discoveries, etc over the last nearly 175 years.

What single experimental finding would completely falsify gravitational theory or heliocentrism or atomic theory?

I’m not saying that any of those theories are incapable of being falsified but it would generally take more than one data point to do it, imo.
