Peppered moths occur in uncamouflaged colors in many areas (Talk.Origins)

Claim CB601.2:

Various aspects of the change in frequencies of the varieties of peppered moth and their geographical distribution are inconsistent with its proposed explanation in terms of natural selection resulting from differential predation.

CreationWiki response:

It needs to be noted that the traditional peppered moth story is no way a threat to creation science. Not only do the peppered moths remain peppered moths but there has not even been a change in the peppered moth gene pool&mdash;only a temporary shift in populations. The fact that Evolutionists even consider this evidence for evolution is a sign of desperation.

Wells was not making predictions of the relative frequencies of different peppered moth varieties. His point was that there are other factors besides natural selection at work, and these observations show that to be the case.

While this is true, one does not get that impression from the traditional peppered moth story. Wells was using the local observations to make this exact point.
