Is the Big Bang Biblical?
Question #26. Does the beak of the finch prove Darwin was right?

Review Published April 2006
In 1995 a book called The Beak of the Finch reported on the research of two scientists who studied evolution. They spent 20 years studying the finches of an island in the Galapagos Islands.
The book makes the claim that evolution can happen fast, and it can be observed. Morris disputes this claim on several grounds. Without having read the book in question, I am not in a position to write a full review. However, from what I have read of reviews on Amazon.com, and Morris' comments, I find myself agreeing with Morris. Variation and adaptation do not necessarily demonstrate evolution.
Although evolution may be true, this variation does not present valid evidences for evolution.
If you are not a Christian, and you have been holding out on making a decision for Christ because the Church always preached a message that was contrary to what you saw in the scientific world, then rest assured that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and you can believe in Christ and receive salvation, while still believing in an old earth.
