→Oh, snap!
Actually, for evolution to be falsifiable (and it is) we must be able to posit a phenomenon that is not explainable by evolution. See my stegasaurus bone example. The peppered moth thing is only one small example, and if another explanation is found that is non-evolutionary, then it taps away at the base of the theory, but alone has not yet destroyed it.--[[User:palmd001|PalMD]]<sup>[[User_talk:palmd001|talk]]</sup> 14:49, 30 March 2007 (EDT)

Oh, and for my fellow evolution-believing friends, the whole peppered moth thing might be a bit of an over-broad example. I personally would not use it.--[[User:palmd001|PalMD]]<sup>[[User_talk:palmd001|talk]]</sup> 14:56, 30 March 2007 (EDT)
