Spiders - or Does Evolution Happen??

Mod Edit: These posts were originally in the Spiders thread - they have been moved to their own thread because they are arguing about evolution.

They imagine that just because an organism can produce a variant it is Evolution. The observation is science, the conclusions aren't.

The observation has been looked at in a wider context, which has led the researchers to their conclusion. What would be your conclusion? And have you read the paper, or just the BBC news article?

The spiders have varied, just as Darwin's finches do, they remained spiders so no Evolution has occurred.

They will have evolved when they are studying the scientists.

I do not think evolution works how you think it works. I also don't think that you have read the paper. It does not really question whether evolution has occurred.

But not unchanged. Constantly evolving.

I can remember back to the Precambrian era but my mind goes a bit hazy after that.

My mind goes a bit hazy just after I get up.
