                                 The Finch "Evolution" Deception


                          To recapitulate, following their examination of thou-
                       sands of ground finches (Geospiza fortis) from the 1970s to
                       the 1990s, Grant and his team observed no net increase or

                       decrease in beak size. Moreover, no new species or charac-
                       teristic emerged, and they observed no net change in any
                       direction.
                          An objective scientist's task is to report that fact without
                       speculation or distortion. It is unacceptable to exaggerate a
                       phenomenon or to distort its true significance for the sake
                       of producing evidence for any theory. Yet Professor Grant's
                       analysis was completely opposed to his findings; he made a
                       claim of a phenomenon that he never observed, that one

                       finch species could turn into another in as short a time
                       frame as 200  years, and he thus cast a serious pall over his
                       own research. In the words of the California University bi-
                       ologist Dr Jonathan Wells, this is "exaggerating the evi-
                       dence." 240
                          Wells states that Darwinists frequently resort to such
                       methods, and cites as an example some expressions in a

                       pamphlet issued by the American National Academy of
                       Sciences:
