come widely accepted that moths
rarely rest on tree trunks. Cyril Clarke
and Rory Howlett, Michael Majerus,

Tony Liebert, Paul Brakefield, as well as
other scientists have studied this subject
over 25 years. They conclude that in
Kettlewell's experiment, moths were forced
to act atypically, therefore, the test results
could not be accepted as scientific.
◆ Researchers who tested Kettlewell's

experiment came to an even more striking
conclusion: In less polluted areas of England,
one would have expected more light-colored Judith Hooper's book
moths, but the dark ones were four times as
many as the light ones. In other words, contrary to what
Kettlewell claimed and nearly all evolutionist literature repeated,
there was no correlation between the ratio in the moth population
and the tree trunks.
◆ As the research deepened, the dimensions of the scandal

grew: The moths on tree trunks photographed by Kettlewell were
actually dead. He glued or pinned the dead moths to tree trunks,
then photographed them. In truth, because moths actually rested
underneath the branches, it was not possible to obtain a real photo
of moths on tree trunks. 145
Only in the late 1990s, the scientific world was able to
learn these facts. When the myth of the Industrial

Melanism that had been a feature in biology courses
for decades came to such an end, evolutionists
