“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.”

It’s science that figured out what the organ is for, not some goofy creationist.

If the scientific assumption was they are useless relics, why did anyone spend one iota of time studying it?

Funny, I feel the exact same way about the Church of Darwin.

I find it bizarre that a field of study that is almost entirely self-correcting is so denigrated. Instead of one its greatest strengths, it is seen as weakness.
