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.
