its interesting how its turned into a god Vs nature debate... lol
its funny how threads derail at some point in time.
I think we should leave christianity out of this as its getting messy :haha:
I would love to share my opinion on the nature of the gospel but for the purposes of those here i shall not..! One thing i have found though from being here on holiday is that Americans in general those associated with the church are more fanatical then those back home in Australia, perhaps a more induced state of religious psychosis due to the overwhelming collective nature of the institution found here.
Anyway what about the bloody appendix...? are we that silly to disregard something?
LOL i just realized what you were getting at in the title. I mean "WE" thats what happens when you dont pay attention to what your doing! |

Its funny the ignorance of humans just because the physiological response isn't obvious imediately or, that they are able to pin point accuratelty through scientific method, they argue that something is useless in the case of the appendix. Cleary it serves a purpose to a greater or lesser extent even if not known by humans. As its exists soley for the purpose of function - which is my argument. But then maybe im wrong, maybe it is nothing. |
Right.. but you do realise there are tons of vestigial phenotypes that exist with many animals
for example femurs and pelvic bones in whales.
this also occurs in snakes
goosebumps in humans (we are hairless it serves no purpose).
the appendix was thought to be vestigial because it was infectious and when removed people lived better lives without it. Obviously new evidence comes up all the time when dealing with evolutoin and vestigial accounts. Mose family trees and clades are hypothesized and there is always contraversy in their ranking and relationship. Science is always changeing. Errors and corrections in science isn't a means to say humans are ignorant and the theories are simply vague guesses. Theory's change from time to time. Look at Newtons kinematic equations dealing with velocity and time as costant. Used for hundreds of years now they have been disproven by einstein as time is no longer considered constant, but instead relative. Its the fine print behind evolution the minor details which change frequently as new evidence is brought to the table (cladistics).
Back to the appendix. it didn't "CLEARLY" serve a purpose as explained in the article since the purpose was just recently found out.
Unless you have some hard evidence to bring to the table before you call generations of scientists who study this stuff day in and day out ignorant, i suggest you do some research. |
