Of all the supposed “proofs” of the theory of evolu-
tion, the most frequently repeated concerns changes
in a species of moth in 19th century Britain. It is
claimed that due to air pollution during the Industrial
Revolution, tree bark was darkened—for which reason
dark- colored moths were better camouflaged from
predatory birds, and thus their numbers increased.
But this is not evolution, because no new species of
moth emerged. All that happened was that the ratio
ratio of the two already existing types in an already
existing species changed. In addition, it has since
emerged that the account on which this claim was
based was untrue. The well-known photos showing
moths clinging to the bark of trees were found to be
fabrications. Contrary to what has been claimed, no
instance of so-called “industrial melanism”—the dark-
ening of color due to industrial pollution—has ever
taken place.

Mutations are caused by random changes in the DNA
in which all the information concerning the human
body’s characteristics is encoded. Mutations occur
due to outside agents such as radiation or chemicals.
Evolutionists maintain that such random genetic
changes can cause living things to evolve. The fact is,
though, that mutations are always harmful to living
