    Vestigial Organs?
    When the evolution theory first became popular in the early 1800s, some people said the human body had over 200 organs that were no longer needed. One of the organs mentioned was the appendix. "Long regarded as a vestigial organ with no function in the human body, the appendix is now thought to be one of the sites where immune responses are initiated." That sounds like a good organ to have. They said the existence of structures like these was proof of evolution. According to the theory, we used to need these structures in the past but lost the need for them as we evolved. Evolutionists say that humans used to have tails. Why don't we have them now? A tail would certainly be handy to carry in the groceries!

    Evolutionist say that one of the proofs of evolution was the human tailbone! They say it was a vestigial organ that we no longer need. I know there are 9 small muscles that attach to the tailbone that are very important to perform certain functions; but, if they feel the tailbone is vestigial Dr. Kent Hovind, has a standing promise that he would pay to have it removed! (In less than 24 hours he would realize what a mistake they had made.) Any textbook author that claims there are vestigial organs is either misinformed or deliberately using false information to promote his theory.

    Some textbooks say the whale has a vestigial pelvis that proves the whale used to walk on land! Any textbook author that makes a statement like that is either ignorant of whale anatomy (those bones are essential for muscle attachments that allow for whales to reproduce), or he is deliberately using false information to promote his theory. The whale does not have a vestigial pelvis.

    There are no vestigial organs! Evolutionists don't seem to realize that this type of evidence is the opposite of what they need to prove their theory. Vestigial organs (if they existed) would be examples of losing something, not gaining something
