Extra Parts

Well I know that the Evolution vs Creationism debate will go on forever, and that nothing anyone says will change the minds of the Creationisits, but well I like to, whnever possible take the more obsecure apporach to things, and I was just sitting here thinking when something occured to me that did not fit in neatly to the whole ingelligent desgin theroy and really makes little sense at all in the light, so pushing aside for now all other evidence, no need to go over that again it has been said time and time again.

If humans were indeed created by God why would he make humans with left over ape parts that serve humans no funtional use? Now I am no expert on ape or human anatomy but there are a couple of things I do know about.

For one, the tail bone. Humans do in fact have a tail bone, but the reason it is called a tail bone, is becasue it was the bone, just at the base of the tail, upon which the tail was attached. Now, this bone, to the best of my knowledge, serves humans no other purpose, and last time I checked, humans, not so much having tials.

The secound is what is called the Jacobson Organ, that is the little bump just on the roof of your mouth behind your teeth. Now it serves humans no functional use, it just kind of sits there doing nothing, but monkeys also have a Jacobson organ, and for them it is a functional part of thier anatomy and serves as the center of thier taste buds.

So if God made people, wouldn't he have just made them with only the parts they use and need? Or did he just do it for aseshthitic reasons, after he got done creating humans, did he just sit there, and was like...."It is good, but I don't know, something is missing, I am just not feeling it, there just needs to be something there" and he started flipping through books on animal anatomy and game to apes and was like "aha, that is it, that is what I need, the perfect touch."

Or was it just done, as a practical joke, was God having a keager with the archangels and was like "Dude, check this out, this is going to be so funny, watch this"

Good One, SilverWind!

I never thought about that. What about the appendix? A little vestigal remnant that serves no purpose. Why are back problems so prevalent? Because the spine was not designed for upright walking creatures, and it hasn't evolved fast enough, so I've heard.

Hi!

That's a great point you're making! Never thought of it myself, when it should be so obvious. Yet, I'm sure that creationist will have an answer for that one too, and I'd love to hear it.
