The peppered moth is a fine example of natural selection in action. There is nothing wrong wrong with using it.

If YOU say so!

Look, my contention is evolution is not proven and shouldn't be taught as such.

"If YOU say so!"

I do, and so does the evidence. The peppered moth example was never meant to show speciation.

No theory in science ever gets proven. Proof is for mathematics and whiskey. It's all about evidence in science; and Hovind with his fake diploma hasn't any. :)

Gravity isn't "proven." Heck, I don't even know, a priori, if YOU exist.

All true science is made up of theories that are subject to rigorous re-examination, using a standard, stepwise method.

This is NOT true of faith, which says, essentially, "'cause I said so."

There is no proof that some snake-oils salesman, on his 4th attempt of starting a religion, actually pulled gold out of a hat.

Heck there is no proof that the Son Of God walked the Earth 2000 years ago.

Creationists should NEVER use the word "proof" in their feeble arguments. It makes thos arguments even more feeble.

I think that's why it's called the THEORY of evolution. Words DO mean things.

Absolutely no theory in science is ever proven. Why single out evolution?
