Quick, why do you get goosebumps when you're cold or scared? Hint: It was functional back when our distant ancesters had fur.

Oh boy... That is just down right laughable! These same idiots who claim that is why we get goosebumbs, are also the ones that said things like "the appendix is useless, serves no function, leftover from our earlier days", and other equally PROFOUNDLY, IGNORANT MUTTERINGS.

If you think that's funny, I once had someone here tell me he was 'evolving' because he was born with a genetic defect. (light sensitivity and loose joints were making him turn into a bat)
Moonbat maybe...

If you find the truth laughable, well, there are medications for that kind of thing.

These same idiots who claim that is why we get goosebumbs,

Okay, I'll bite -- *you* tell me why we get goosebumps. What functional purpose do they serve? Why did an alleged "designer" give us the exact same mechanism that furred animals use to erect their fur for heat-retention and threat displays, despite the fact that due to our sparse body hair, it serves neither of those functions for us? For what "design purpose" do we get goosebumps? Now's your chance to add more to the discussion than simply braying like a mule. Anyone can ridicule, especially if they don't even bother to explain their giggling as is the case with your post. So come on, put your own analysis into the ring and let us see if you have any clue what you're talking about. We'll wait.

are also the ones that said things like "the appendix is useless, serves no function, leftover from our earlier days", and other equally PROFOUNDLY, IGNORANT MUTTERINGS.

Here, learn something before you get hysterical again: The vestigiality of the human vermiform appendix.
