-
Modern textbooks are filled with confessions of faith in evolution.
-
Miller-Urey experiment
-
Amino acids produced from a soup of hydrogen, methane, ammonia, and water vapor.
-
No oxygen was used in the experiment. If oxygen had been used, the amino acids produced would have quickly decayed. Thus, this reaction can’t happen in an oxygen atmosphere.

Peppered moths
-
Peppered moths in the UK during the Industrial Revolution naturally selected a darker color to blend in with the change in color of the tree bark.
-
In reality, moths don’t hide on tree bark! They hide higher up in trees underneath branches for camouflage. Also, moths only fly at night!
-
Ape to human
-
Darwin didn’t believe that the ape was our ancestor, merely our contemporary “cousin”. The picture is a lie to begin with.
-
“The fossil record is one of increasing diversity.” - Stephen Jay Gould
-
Haeckel’s embryos
-
The embryos chosen look very similar because they were purposely chosen. Other species have embryos that look completely different from each other.
-
Darwin’s finches
-
Darwin claimed that the dimensions of finches’ beaks change depending on what types of food they have to eat.
-
Finches don’t evolve - they just adapt back and forth between beak types depending on what type of food is available.
-
Conclusion:
-
None of the icons of evolution have stood the test of time, yet they are still taught in modern textbooks!
