Appendix may be useful after all
Seemingly useless organ may produce, protect good germs for your gut
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Some scientists think they have figured out the real job of the troublesome and seemingly useless appendix: It produces and protects good germs for your gut...

CREATIONISTS RESPOND:
Don’t let the Darwinists try to steal glory for Charlie over this. Consider that Darwin’s theory held up medical research on these supposed vestigial organs for 100 years. Tonsils were routinely cut out of children’s throats under the assumption they were useless relics of our evolutionary past, only for the victims to discover it made them more susceptible to throat infections. Though you had better get an appendectomy if you get appendicitis, it seems much wiser principle these days to hang on to all your organs as long as you safely can, because they are there for a reason.
Now that we have another case of “Vestigial? NOT!”, should we let the Darwinists grin and say that the discovery these organs are functional makes “evolutionary sense”? There’s an oxymoron for you: evolutionary sense. Apparently it made just as much evolutionary sense when the appendix had no function as it does to them now when it has a function. Thus the oxymoron.
Like tax-and-spend politicians, the Darwin Party takes credit (08/24/2007) for solutions to problems it created. Vote the rascals out.

Ping!
I wish the appendix had been designed so that it didn’t cause so much illness and fatalities.
I always believed that.
Why are you trying to make a science thread into a religious thread?
Good Lord, you sound like an idiot with too much time on your hands.
Which religious perspective are you objecting to? Creationism or the Church of Darwin?
Then stop talking to yourself in the mirror.
Sounds like I am in trouble, I lost my appendix when I was 20.
Well, according to the article it takes a village to save you now.
Welcome to Communism.
Do you think there is some plot to take away our appendices? That the Darwinists walk among us, plotting to take our vestigial organs?
Really, get a grip.
Think of it as a backdoor for God’s Smite software.
Mine rupture when I was 15 and I nearly died from peritonitis, I guess I should have kept it.
Neither. I don't understand how you got to espousing creationism on a thread about the appendix and it's biological function.
LOL. When you figure that one out, let me know :o)
creationism abounds, even in discussions of the appendix.
See post #2. The Darwinists are the ones who postulate vestigal organs...and yet they keep finding function for them. I for one think they need to be called to account for their pronouncements.
The Church of Darwin abounds, even when they are proven wrong over and over re: vestigal organs, “junk” DNA, etc, etc, etc.
