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.

Uhh... Didn't they just do that, in a way, with this article?

Not that I am arguing for Creation. I still don't see the reach on your part.

creationism abounds, even in discussions of the appendix.

The same could be said about evolution.

The subject of creationism should only be added as an appendix to this discussion.

It seems no matter what the evidence forces Darwinists to admit, they always spin it as a further advance and proof of Darwinian evolution. So whenever I stumble onto articles such as this, I do my part in calling them on it.

Dhimmikratz have “vestigial” brains, because, for them, it’s certainly not used for anything..............

I think the answer pretty much depends on whether there was lint in the Garden of Eden.

I thought this was pretty much known already. I was told in 4th grade science class (1957) that rats had large appendices and the thought was it helped them handle the wood they ingested in their day to day rattiness. I have had occasion to see a sheep’s innards, and I can testify they have quite large appendices, and I was told that vets thought it had to do with germs for digesting or processing somehow all the fibrous matter in their diet. So I’d thought this for quite some time.

I met this chick in a hotel bar. We had a few drinks and went back to my room. I woke up the next day in a tub full of ice. I found out my appendix had been stolen.

This is why the Marines are no longer referred to as Navel Infantry.

“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.”

What about foreskin? I have all my parts, even wisdom teeth...except foreskin, that’s long gone. Well, I’m down to my last few strands of hair...

He told me he was in a car wreck when he was a toddler and had an operation that removed his bellybutton, so his stomach was totally flat and smooth.........

The article just goes to show that the CHURCH OF DARWIN is set to be proven wrong yet again (and again, and again). They really have no choice...they practice a false religion masquerading as science.

Let me guess. When god was passing out guns, guts, and brains, you thought he said trains and are still waiting for the next one?
