more powerful beaks. Weaker individuals in the finch pop-

ulation, with smaller beaks, die off since they are unable to
adapt to the prevailing conditions. And thus, the average
beak size increases. In rainy periods, on the other hand,
when there is an abundance of small, soft seeds, the process
works in the opposite direction: Ground finches with small-
er beaks can better adapt to their environment, and their
numbers increase. Thus the average beak size returns to

normal. In fact, Peter Grant and his student Lisle Gibbs ad-
mitted as much in an article published in Nature magazine
in 1987. 236

Evolutionist researchers ascribe
fluctuations in the beaks of
"Darwins's finches' to evolution,
but this is completely ideological.
