Rather, given the theory of evolution, which is supported by a vast amount of other evidence, one can explain the co-evolution of the orchid and moth. And Darwin's prediction that there would be such a moth had nothing to do with the theory of evolution; it was a consequence of his knowledge that nectar is there to draw pollinators. This would be true even if he believed that God had created all species of flowers and of pollinating insects, matching them up.<br /> </p> Look, I’m very much an evolutionist, but this example does not “support” the theory of evolution.
