Light moths increased before trees got lighter (Talk.Origins)

Claim CB601.2.5:

The increase in the proportions of light moths in many locations preceded significant changes in the colour of tree trunks. This raises questions about the accuracy of the classical theory that changes to the population of the peppered moth were brought about by natural selection resulting from bird 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 it does not even represent a change in the peppered moth gene pool but only a temporary shift in populations. The fact that Evolutionists even consider this evidence for evolution is a sign of desperation.

Talk Origins is correct on this point; this does seem to be a misquoted version of claim CB601.2.4.
