The myth of the peppered moths

Q: Why is the peppered moth story considered scientifically invalid?

The story is invalid because both light and dark-colored moths already existed long before industrialization. No new species, organs, or features emerged during this period, and there was no transformation from one type to another.

Q: What fraudulent methods were used in the original peppered moth research?

The researcher Bernard Kettlewell staged his famous photographs by pinning dead moths to tree trunks with adhesives. These moths naturally settle on the underside of branches, meaning the photographs did not represent their actual behavior or natural habitat.

Q: What does the existence of both moth types demonstrate about living creatures?

It demonstrates that the variations within the population were already present in their created form. Allah's artistry in creation established these distinct types from the beginning, rather than them appearing through a gradual process of change.

Abstract

This video examines the widely repeated but flawed peppered moth narrative often presented as evidence for Darwinian theory. It exposes how both light and dark moths existed from the beginning and that no new species or features emerged. Furthermore, the video reveals that the original research by Bernard Kettlewell involved staged photographs using dead moths, marking it as a significant scientific deception rather than proof of evolutionary claims.
