Modern textbooks are filled with confessions of faith in evolution.

Miller-Urey experiment

Amino acids produced from a soup of hydrogen, methane, ammonia, and water vapor.

No oxygen was used in the experiment. If oxygen had been used, the amino acids produced would have quickly decayed. Thus, this reaction can’t happen in an oxygen atmosphere.

Peppered moths

Peppered moths in the UK during the Industrial Revolution naturally selected a darker color to blend in with the change in color of the tree bark.

In reality, moths don’t hide on tree bark! They hide higher up in trees underneath branches for camouflage. Also, moths only fly at night!

Ape to human

Darwin didn’t believe that the ape was our ancestor, merely our contemporary “cousin”. The picture is a lie to begin with.

“The fossil record is one of increasing diversity.” - Stephen Jay Gould

Haeckel’s embryos

The embryos chosen look very similar because they were purposely chosen. Other species have embryos that look completely different from each other.

Darwin’s finches

Darwin claimed that the dimensions of finches’ beaks change depending on what types of food they have to eat.

Finches don’t evolve - they just adapt back and forth between beak types depending on what type of food is available.

Conclusion:

None of the icons of evolution have stood the test of time, yet they are still taught in modern textbooks!
