You realize that the tailbone (coccyx) has important functionality in humans and is no longer considered vestigial.

The poor souls that had their tailbone removed thanks to evolutionary theory suffered excruciating pain as a result.

Heh. A few years ago, a friend of mine had surgery on his coccyx. Basically, it was abnormally long and that, combined with a sedentary career in IT, had resulted in a cyst forming. He spent weeks going on about how his abnormal coccyx was proof that it was a vestigial tail, of evolution from primates, etc. etc.

Finally, I just said, "Okay, you win! I give! I admit that your long tailbone is proof that you, personally, evolved from a monkey!"

Even our other evolutionist friends thought that was hilarious.

Shalom!
