Around the city of St Etienne, France, there is a specy of butterfly with large white wing,
that eat and reproduce on white birch.
At the beguinning of the century, this region was a very big center for coal minir and exploitation,
making big dark smoke, covering birchs with back dust everywhere in the region.
Those butterfly became very easy pray for bird.
But in a matter of years (2 to 5 years) those butterfly had
the wing changed from white to black.
During the 50s the coal mine and exploitation totaly stoped,
and birchs started to be white again, leaving those butterfly with the same problem.
And thesame thing happened: in a matter of few years, the butterfly change back to his with wing.
So what is it? evolution adaptation, something else.
In Europe, after having a lots for early scientific reasercher burn alive for herezy,
the concept the the bible is a book of philosophy, and code of conduct and of moral education BUT NOT a book of science
is accepted by almost everybody.
To say the true I never ever heard of intelligent design before coming in north america.
I still believe that is a pile of craps, and the only thing with more crapness than that is
the different scientific coming in TV talking AGAINS intelligent design, mostly because they don't come to talk
about the scientific illogisme of intelligent design, but to discuss philosophy and mirality about accepting or not this theory.
A theory might not be possibly prove right, but the opposite (proving it wrong) is still possible,
and that would be what those guys have to do, not trying to become some speudotheologico-sientifico-speaker...
Since when a scientific can speak about something and still be anderstandable
by everybody that is not a scientist anyway.
They're pepper moths, and that's natural selection, not evolution. Pepper moths naturally are black and white. When the white moths became easy prey, the black ones reproduced more and the majority of their population became black. When the black ones became easy prey, the whites one reproduced more and the white ones became the majority again. They did not spontaneously evolve different coloration in order to survive; genes that were already there became dominant in one case where the majority of the ones who survived to reproduce had that particular set of genes.
It's like taking a population of people, a hundred white guys and ten asians, and letting them start a colony. There's going to be more white people in the future generations, right? Now have a bunch of assholes come in and shoot most of the white guys. Hey, now their kids have a larger percentage of asians! Now leave the white guys alone and kill asians exclusively. Guess what happens? Future generations have more whites because they survive to reproduce and asians don't.
