Just about every public school textbook includes the example of the peppered moth. The moth is used as a prime example of natural selection. Supposedly, as the trees in the English countryside began to be covered with coal pollution in the mid -1800s, the light-colored tree trunks became darker. The peppered moth exists in two varieties, black and white, and was said to rest on the tree trunks. As the trunks turned black the white variety was more easily seen and picked off by the birds, leaving the black variety to multiply. Students were told this was natural selection.But since the 1980s, numerous studies of moth populations and how they live have called into question the use of the peppered moth as an example of evolution. Several additional population studies in polluted and unpolluted forests show little correlation between whether there are lighter or darker moths. After pollution control laws went into effect in England, the population of dark moths decreased in the north, but increased in the south! In addition, the nocturnal moths do not rest on the tree trunks during the day but stay hidden under the branches higher in the tree. In the famous photograph shown in every biology textbook - of a pair of moths resting on a tree, the moths were actually glued to the tree trunks to provide the picture!Let's not give away the treasures of the truth of God's inerrant Word for the false treasure of earthly theories which deny our Creator.Luke 12:33"Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.”Prayer: Thank you, Father, that Your saving Word is trustworthy.

Send us Fan MailCrivens! We're tackling the first installment of the Tiffany Aching series, The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett. Tiffany is a pragmatic and precocious 9-year-old witch, whose brother has been taken by the Queen of the Fairies. She must rely on the help of tiny blue men, the Nac Mac Feegles, to navigate Fairyland to get him back. Gifted by First Sight and Second Thoughts, Tiffany uses her wit and compassion as she journeys into a world unknown to her. Full of wonder, heart and bravery, The Wee Free Men is a wonderful entryway into fantasy for any young (or old) reader! In this episode, we hear Hannah's deep connection to Pratchett and his Discworld series, you find out our Nac Mac Feegle names and we talk wax poetic about Pratchett's ability to write a full-fleshed female character (the bar may be a little low for male authors). We hope our fondness for the book and the main character, Tiffany, comes through in our discussion. These Books Made Me is a podcast about the literary heroines who shaped us and is a product of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System podcast network.

Show Notes Episode 525: On Second Thought, Let's Not Go to Camelot This week host Dave Bledsoe ruined a bar trivia night by drunkenly shouting “wasn't in the form of a question” every time until they threw him out. (He doesn't even watch Jeopardy.) On the show this week we talk about JFK's time in office, from the political to the poonhound.  (Google recognized poonhound, that's awesome.) Along the way we discover the reason why Dave can't form meaningful relationships. (Perhaps his drinking problem?) Then we really do dive into JFK as a politician.  (There is a LOT to cover this week!) From the Bay of Pigs to the Cuban Missile Crisis, to the Vienna Summit we examine his foreign policy.  Domestically, we mostly talk about all the side pieces he had.  (Dude had a lot!) We learn that the whole “Camelot” thing was created after his death to hide how horny he was. Finally, we set the stage for Dallas.  (Which we will cover in detail next episode.) Our Sponsor is the Secret Services Professional Escorts, trusted by the people you trust with your life. We open with JFK's inauguration and close with Nick Fife who reminds you it is only a model.  Show Theme: Hypnostate Prelude to Common Sense The Show on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/whatthehellpodcast.bsky.social The Show on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatthehellpodcast/ The Show on Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxP5ywpZ-O7qu_MFkLXQUQ The Show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatthehellwereyouthinkingpod/ Our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/kHmmrjptrq Our Website: https://www.whatthehellpodcast.com Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/Whatthehellpodcast The Show Line: 347 687 9601 Closing Music:https://youtu.be/T5F8VKRPsyg?si=6i0BaV3msxBesAZw Buy Our Stuff: https://www.seltzerkings.com/shop Citations Needed: Washington; President Kennedy's Inaugural -- Speech or Policy? https://www.nytimes.com/1961/01/22/archives/washington-president-kennedys-inaugural-speech-or-policy.html JFK's Inaugural Speech: Great But Silent On Racial Woes https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2011/01/20/133083711/jfks-inaugural-speech-great-but-incomplete-on-race Report: The night prostitutes came to JFK's suite at Seattle's Olympic Hotel https://www.kiro7.com/news/report-the-night-prostitutes-came-to-jfks-suite-at-seattles-olympic-hotel/731448613/ How Jackie Kennedy Invented the Camelot Legend After JFK's Death https://manhattan.institute/article/how-jackie-kennedy-invented-the-camelot-legend-after-jfks-death Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, on our inaugural episode of Second Thought, Suzy Weiss sits down with one of the most influential people in YouTube's history: Casey Neistat. Casey has millions of followers and billions of views to his name—and he saw early on that YouTube would change everything. It certainly changed his own life. In this conversation, Casey talks about riding the wave of the YouTube tsunami, his love of old technology, and how his career illustrates Andy Warhol's infamous prediction that “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Plus: the creative power of brothers, Lena Dunham, and who inherited the mantle of Jackass. He also answers some harder questions: Has the rise of the creator economy and the parasocial relationships that came with it been a net positive? Is it possible to win the algorithm without exploiting your audience? Can artistic expression survive the onslaught of artificial intelligence? On all fronts, the man who saw around the corner of our last media revolution isn't so sure. Subscribe to Second Thought for new episodes every week.
