More evidence for evolution

Those following the science stories of the day would have noticed the announcement of a new fossil discovery representing a possible "missing link" between aquatic fish and a mobile land animal.
I wonder what the response from intelligent design circles will be to such a discovery. Sure, as any scientific discovery, one must be critical enough to confirm the discovery is not some forgery or hoax, and confirm the dating of the fossil to 375 million years ago. Assuming this discovery passes scientific muster, we have yet another example supporting evolutionary theory and another nail in the coffin of intelligent design.
The beauty of science is that it is always producing new discoveries and adding to our knowledge. Contrast this with the Bible or Koran or other so-called holy texts, which are "dead" books, never able to be revised based on new knowledge or information.
