Famous Frauds in Evolution Part 1: Peppered Moths



I want to spend a few minutes taking a quick look at some of the evidences used to prove evolution. For many of our students, they hear us say that God created the world, but then hear their professors say that science proves evolution. Let’s take a quick look at some of the proof that is used on our students.

The first proof that we will look at comes from this famous picture of two peppered moths juxtaposed on trees:




There are two varieties of peppered moths—light gray and dark gray. And during the Industrial Revolution we are told that factories began to put out a lot of soot and smoke which turned trees a darker gray color. This phenomenon hindered the light gray moths from being able to hide from birds, and birds began to eat them at a faster rate. Over time, there were more of the darker moths than lighter moths. Textbooks use this as a proof for natural selection. 

The problem is that dark gray moths don’t perch on tree trunks; they actually prefer the canopy of trees. It turns out that these photos were staged. Dead moths were glued to the tree trunks just for the pictures.

And even if this were true, it does not prove evolution. Evolution teaches that one species evolves into a new species; these moths are different varieties of the same species.

In case you don’t see how damaging this is to evolution, consider these remarks made by a prominent evolutionary biologist. He referred to this picture as “a prize horse in our stable of examples,” and after learning that it was fake, he compared the feeling to learning “that it was my father and not Santa Claus who brought the presents on Christmas Eve.”

A textbook writer who admittedly used this photo in a textbook when he knew it was fake declared, “the advantage of this example is that it is extremely visual. Later on, students can look at the work critically.[1]”

So here is another example of evolutionists lying, fabricating evidence, manipulating students, and all the while claiming to have proof of their theory. If they have so much proof, let the proof speak for itself.

If they have so much proof, why are they gluing dead moths to trees?

To Save a Life

(Like my blog about the peace symbol, this blog was written as a default response to all the parents, students, and other people who are asking my opinion of To Save a Life.) By now you have probably heard of the movie To Save a Life, which opened nation-wide in theaters on January 22nd. The movie deals with so many issues that teens face today, like suicide, cutting, drinking, drugs, premarital sex, teen pregnancy, and abortion. At first glance this movie looks like an awesome resource that we should recommend for our teens, parents, youth pastors, and youth workers. But a closer look at the movie reveals a few disturbing things. For starters, according to pluggedin.com, there are 2 uses of the “A” word, 5 uses of hell (used as a curse word), and once the “D” word is used. There are other crude terms used to describe a girl, and crude terms for referring to sexual activity. There is also a bedroom scene that shows a girl removing a boy’s shirt, then afterwards the girl putting he...

All Things To All Men

One of our favorite verses to use in our evangelism methods is where Paul said that he “becomes all things to all men” so that he might “by all means save some (I Corinthians 9:22).” This is certainly a good idea if we keep it in its proper context and application. For example, I remember a time in high school where I knew a kid that loved skateboarding. Being the chicken that I am, I was never a skateboarder. All he would talk about was skating, and I knew none of his lingo. But to help develop a relationship with him (he was new to our church and didn’t know many people), I brushed up on my skating lingo so I could ask if he had done any sick ollies lately (impressed?). This would be like Paul saying “to the skateboarder, I became a skateboarder.” This is effective and necessary. But then there are the people that use this verse to justify doing sinful things in the name of evangelism. The first one that comes to mind is about drinking. Some people will go into the bars to evan...

What is a Curse Word?

I know. Stupid question, right? But lately I have heard Christians begin to debate what actually makes a word a curse word. Since the Bible never says, “Thou shalt not say the ‘s’ word,” how do we know that a word is bad? Because of this I have heard Christians justify cursing. The Bible gives a broad command for Christians to adhere to: let no corrupt word come out of your mouth (Ephesians 4:29). The word corrupt means rotten; therefore, we should never say a rotten word, whether it is on the list of curse words or not. First, we have to realize that there are curse words. On the night of Jesus’ arrest Peter was found guilty of using one himself. Matthew 26:74 tells us that when Peter denied knowing Jesus that he began “to curse and to swear.” This verse shows that there are curse words, and that they are wrong to use. I’m sure whatever words Peter said were not the same curse words that we have in our culture today. Here is the point: a curse word (or rotten word) is any wo...
