They knew the human appendix did a job sixty years ago, actually

You might have a point if evolutionary theory predicted that vestigial organs must be functionless, but it doesn’t.

And you would have a point if the theory of evolution predicted organs, but it doesn't. Joe

I'm glad you brought up evolution because Intelligent Design is NOT anti-evolution. Joe

I'm glad you brought up junk DNA because pseudogenes provide excellent evidence for evolution, just as vestigial organs do, and in neither case does this depend on the notion that they must be functionless. champignon

You mean just like evolutionary theory never predicted junk DNA must be functionless either? Even though leading Darwinists continually held it's (and vestigial organs) non-functionality up as evidence for evolution.. One thing I've noticed since joining "the debate" is that evolutionary proponents love to rewrite history. A little massaging of the theory here and there, and hey presto; yeah we knew that all along, didn't you know.. Stu7

Sure, Doc Gator, but Darwin’s men needed a vestigial organ that people knew about (“She got her appendix out last summer …”), and the rest is just “Defend Evolution: 13 Key Talking Points.”
