[[Jon Wells]] says, "When asked to list the evidence for Darwinian evolution, most people--including most biologists" give the peppered moth as an example. I've asked at Wikipedia whether what this means. I hope my stalkers don't dismiss the question simply because I cross-posted it. If the moth's change in distribution of light and dark varieties is cited by scientists (or at lease educatiors) as evidence of evolution, then I will include it in CP's [[evidence of evolution]] article. If not, I won't; it's that simple. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:45, 9 January 2009 (EST)

:First I would like to point out that I really dislike the use of the peppered moth as an example. The question that has to be asked first is what do you define as evolution? If it is a phenotype change in a population then yes, the peppered moth is an example. If it is speciation then no, the peppered moth is not an example. Some creationists will accept the peppered moth as an example of microevolution. I personally would use the [[Nylon-eating bacteria]] as an example.--[[User:Able806|Able806]] 14:08, 9 January 2009 (EST)
