Two words:
Peppered Moth.
Still defended by some of the most ardent evolutionist zealots. All the while claiming that they know the whole entire “experiment” was staged.....
Let’s see, I graduated in 1987 from H.S. and the peppered moth was still in my biology textbook... So if you’re claiming that evolution zealots don’t use debunked evolution theories to try and still prove evolution, then I don’t think “you” know how wrong you are.
It shows the level of knowledge of the subject that you come in claiming that present day Biologists defend Piltdown when the hoax got scant support contemporaneously and none among the present day community; then claim an entire experiment was staged because it had a picture of a white moth pinned next to a dark moth.
And nothing is ever going to ‘prove’ a theory.
