You are absolutely correct!...Good day, Papa Giorgio<br />You are absolutely correct! The peppered moth story, which I was told as a child in middle school as support for universal common descent, has no connection to it at all. The respective numbers of organisms carrying a particular trait changed--one went up while the other went down. This has nothing to do with how the moth came about, how its color scheme arose, or anything of the sort. And it's one of their better examples. A failure for sure.<br />Thanks for reading and for commenting.Steve Risnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4582953863643137208.post-91433976442816666652024-03-15T09:50:15.326-04:002024-03-15T09:50:15.326-04:00*SMH* Peppered Moths.

Pictures of them on tree trunk are faked because they are placed there dead. They almost always reside under leaves, in shade. But all this gives license to show evolution as viable? Silly Rabbit. I am gonna need more than that to throw my faith away for "puppetry of moths" -- so-to-speak.

This discussion has NEVER been science vs. religion (I get into that later in the series). And there are plenty of Bible scholars that take God at His Word. Of course, the further we get from the original writing of the Bible's books, the less likely a newer perspective is going to be applicable. Most scholars were in agreement on a great many things prior to humanism infiltrating the Church as a whole. But many if not all the "scholars" you would reference are likely not believers at all. This means I cannot trust anything they say on the topic. <br /><br />What tools do you use in interpreting the Bible, Jim?
