Thus, finding some evidence that random mutations are not actually random, but part of some global pattern, might reduce our confidence in the theory of biological evolution (as per Ghazzali's original challenge, above).

Discovering evidence for some sort of Lysenkoism would also work, but might be harder to achieve, since all the evidence we'd found so far points in the opposite direction.
