CB910.2: Peppered moths species
Legacy route: /indexcc/CB/CB910_2.html · Source: indexcc/CB/CB910_2.html
Claim CB910.2:
Peppered moths are commonly claimed as evidence of evolution, but falsely
so. The moths only changed color; they remain peppered moths.
Source:
Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, 1985. Life--How Did It Get Here?
Brooklyn, NY, 105-107.
Response:
Peppered moths were never claimed as evidence of a new species. They
show evolutionary change as a result of selection. Creationists
themselves admit such microevolution is a reality. Peppered moths show
microevolution and one of its causes.
