"It has been shown that people without the appendex have a much higher infection rate. So it is not as useless as we guessed."

Vestigial doesn't mean useless; it means it no longer follows one of the original functions of the structure, like an ostriches wing. Darwin knew this 150 years ago, when will creationists actually read what evolutionists say before making such silly statements?

One thing you cannot understand, and that is the vestigal organ that proves evolution?! Where are the hundreds of vestigal limbs and organs that do not help you compete, yet do not hinder you?

Evolution is a religious attempt to deny the obvious.

The day creationists actually read what evolutionists say is the day they have a severe crisis of faith. This is unthinkable to them. So very few of them will ever dare to tread there.
