thread to another suitable point. After having drawn a few diagonal
struts in this way, it starts to fill in the gaps between them with cir-
cular links. Anything coming into contact with the web is swiftly
immobilised. Yet, the spider itself is unaffected by the adhesive na-
ture of its web.
In other words, for the spider to have come about by evolution,
both the web with its exceedingly complex biochemical structure,
and the complex behavior allowing the spider to make use of the
web, would have to have come about by means of chance muta-
tions. It is clear that this is impossible. Moreover, there is absolutely
no experimental, observational, or fossil evidence to support this
evolutionist claim.
On the contrary, the evidence deals a mortal blow to evolution:
the fact that 380-million-year-old spider fossils are no different from
modern spiders, and the complex structure of the web, pose insu-
perable difficulties for evolutionists. Given these difficulties, The
Discovery Channel declines to touch on the subject of how an organ
that produces a substance with such superior properties, which sci-
entists are trying to imitate, could have evolved by chance muta-
tions. It therefore resorts to familiar old stories. The channel starts
off with the shape of the nest, which spiders erected between plants
on the ground and which contained a downward-pointing funnel:
"These nests in the shape of funnels turned into a silken layer as the
spiders climbed up on the trees. The gradually developing layer
turned sideways, took shape and the circular web formed."
The Discovery Channel may imagine that with this story it has
overcome the problem of the origin of spiders. If so, it is mistaken,
because the web it places at the beginning of its story must have
been made of spider thread with a flawless structure. Since it offers
no proof that webs close to the ground are ancient in evolutionary
terms, whereas those high up are more recent, it places spider webs
in an imaginary chronological framework.
