How in heaven's name can they know how old this is? I just do not buy it. They even admit in the end of this excerpt that they have no way of knowing much of anything about this specimen. So, someone found something about which noone seems to be able to know anything, but they are absolutely positive it is 190 million years old. Preposterous in my view. Or, even if it is that old, apparently spiders back then are just like spiders now. These evolutionists are nuts.
How in heaven's name can they know how old this is? Because of a boatload of correlations using a boatload of dating techniques, and a fundamental faith in reasoning by induction. Same way they know stars are x many billions of years old. What astronomical scientist actually nursemaided a star from birth to death?
Or, even if it is that old, apparently spiders back then are just like spiders now. Stasis in light of the Chicxulub event is a testament to non-change rather than change.
The diameter of the thread, and the size, density, arrangement and shape of the droplets, closely match those in webs made by modern orb-weaver or comb-footed spiders.
Impact! 65 Million Years Ago
What killed the dinosaurs? Their sudden disappearance 65 million years ago, along with about 70 percent of all species then living on Earth, is known as the K-T event (Cretaceous-Tertiary Mass Extinction event).
But, of course, the answer will essentially be "it didn't change because it didn't change".
