    I just rejoined after a holiday hiatus from the list.

    I am teaching intro college biology and am about to mention the peppered
    moth classic example of natural selection. I know there has recently been
    some criticism of the study by creation scientists, but was unable to locate
    any specifics from a web search. Does anyone know what criticism has been
    offered about this study, and why? I'd like to be informed before going in
    there! ;)

    Thanks!
