ScienceDaily (Jan. 1, 2009) — New interpretations of fossils have revealed an ancient missing link between today’s spiders and their long-extinct ancestors. The research by scientists at the University of Kansas and Virginia’s Hampden-Sydney College may help explain how spiders came to weave webs.

This is not evolution. It is simply identifying how an ancestor did what it did. If they could show how a worm became a spider, that would be different.

Ancestors being different from modern-day species is part of evolution. It's one of many pieces of evidence that today's species evolved from some of the species captured in fossils.

"Ancestors being different from modern-day species is part of evolution. It's one of many pieces of evidence that today's species evolved from some of the species captured in fossils."

Yes, if you want to interpret it that way, but it is equally good evidence the today's species did not evolve from those same creatures.

So in fact, it is only evidence that the species (or creatures, if they were indeed different secies) once existed. There is no evidence of any connection, one way or the other, with current species, except in the wild immagination of evoloutionists and academics who get paid to have them.

New interpretations of fossils

I prefer science that is repeatable and falsifiable, not "so-called-science" where the results are based on the same kinds of "interpetation of evidence" that the democrats are using to find votes for Al Franken.

Another example of evolutionists giving real science a bad name.

and then again... maybe not.
