Biston betularia, normally called the Peppered Moth, is an example of the process of natural selection used in most biology books, from both Christian and secular publishers. Evolutionists have used the Peppered Moth for years as an example of evolution. Creationists have pointed out for years that it is only an example of microevolution, not macroevolution. Creationists do not deny that natural selection occurs, as in microevolution. However, natural selection may not always be as important as evolutionists imply.
Natural selection is a competition process essentially.
Animals often cooperate and actually help each other or do things that natural selection does not apply to. Well, it turns out this famous example from these moths is based on research that is seriously flawed. It comes from a man named Bernard Kettlewell in Oxford, England. The study was originally done in the 1950's. He reported that after industrial pollution turned the trees in England dark, then the lighter colored moths were picked off of trees by birds because they were more easily seen.
