bark, intended to supply Darwin's missing evi-
dence, and the constant repetition of an old-fashioned
story. The evidence Darwin needed to find is still missing,

because there's no such evidence.
A 1999 article published in The Daily Telegraph, a London
newspaper, sums up how the myth was finally discredited:
Evolution experts are quietly admitting that one of their most cher-
ished examples of Darwin's theory, the rise and fall of the peppered
moth, is based on a series of scientific blunders. Experiments using
the moth in the Fifties and long believed to prove the truth of nat-
ural selection are now thought to be worthless, having been de-
signed to come up with the "right" answer. Scientists now admit
that they do not know the real explanation for the fate of Biston betu-
laria, whose story is recounted in almost every textbook on evolu-
tion. 150

In short, the myth of industrial melanism—like other sup-
posed proofs for evolution, avidly defended by many evolution-
ists—crumbled.
Once, because of conservatism and lack of knowledge, the
scientific world could be duped by tales like that of the peppered
moths. But now, all such Darwinist myths have been discredited.
