Of all the people I know, including both amateur and professional entomologists who have experience of this moth, I know of none who doubts that differential bird predation is of primary importance in the spread and decline of melanism in the peppered moth.For multiple (intentional?) errors by Wells, read the full post.
LOL, sounds like the lady from Manhattan's comments on the election of Richard Nixon.
Does the moth change its melanin apportionments based on environmental pressure or did a random mutation get selected? One would evidence evolution, the other would evidence something entirely different.

And this is similar to the logic that says:
"As a believer in fundamentalism, I know of no one who seriously doubts the existence of God amongst the theologians and churchgoers I have personally met."
Logic that goes round and round.
