However, it is both false and irrelevant,

It is not false, otherwise the phony 'scientist' that pasted them up would not have had a need to commit a fraud, he could just have photographed them any time. It is not irrelevant, because the moths are very hard to see if they perch in the branches of the trees and the coloring would not matter very much in such cases. So you are wrong on both counts.

Regardless, this is not an example of evolution, indeed it is not even an example of speciation. Both kinds of moths existed before the industrial revolution and both kinds exist after the cleanup of the smoke stacks.

You can't be serious, speciation? what the hell?

They never claimed speciation, it was MICROEVOLUTION!!

Hello G3K, earth to G3K, hello, anybody home?

Because the pollution made the background darker, the darker Moths reproduced MORE then the Light colored moths, because they were not eaten as much.

HELLO G3K, EARTH to G3K!!!

There was NO Phony, about it, they made their point and it was a good one.

But then again, facts never get in your way, do they?

You are back on ignore, had to set the record straight on your BS again.

LOL, are you saying that peppered moths change color when they die? Because that's the only way that would be relevant.

O...M...G... <gracie voice>Well sure: If it's hard for humans to see them way up there in the branches of trees, then it must be just as hard for birds to see them too, in which case their color is irrelevant!</gracie voice> Um, or are you saying that peppered moths were predated upon by humans???

Either way: Oh ... mah ... GAWD!!!
