For example: The blue-streaked wrasse and the oriental sweetlips. The sweetlips is a fish with teeth, and the only way that those teeth keep from rotting off is is to stay clean. How do they stay clean? the blue streaked wrasse enters its mouth and eats the stuff off it. Well, in order for this to happen, they would both have to develop these instincts at the same time. The instincts would have to develop at the same time as the sweetlips' teeth. If one of these didn't develop, the system wouldn't work, and the sweetlips that had teeth would all die. You gotta admit, there are too many coincidences here to have happened by chance. Admittedly, there are some symbiotic relationships that you could explain, but there are others simply too complex to to throw in the hands of fate.
