    I understand many people today believe in evolution, so I guess I could see why people might think that the incredibly complex and perfectly designed body of the human being might have a few spare parts, I mean after all, we supposedly formed from a glob of goo stuck to a twig after the universe exploded and magically created everything so wonderfully right? But for those who don't believe that, why on earth would humans have "spare parts"? If scientists are so intelligent why would they assume for so long that this organ had no use? Just because they didn't know what that use was doesn't mean it doesn't have one. I'm glad they found why its there but I just think its funny how they just assumed it was useless because they couldn't explain its existance to begin with.

      I was drinking coffee when I read 'formed from a glob of goo stuck to a twig' and burst out laughing- coughing up my coffee, but I'll be darned if that sentence didn't just make my entire day. We can believe in a 'make-believe' force if they can believe in so many circumstances. Glob of goo- I love it!

      You seem to think that the earth was created magically (and instantaneously) by the big bang theory which happened 12-14 billion years ago, not last year. Yet, you believe that a god created the world and all life in 7 days? This theory sounds more like the magic you were referring to.

        It's spelled God not god please correct yourself. And do you really believe in the big bang and evolution? If evolution was true why are there still monkeys around, and wouldn't we all evolutionized from the same cells so humans, fish, plants, and even bacteria we would all have the same cells. Im sorry I rather believe in God the almighty creator then to think I evolutionized from just one cell and then from a damn monkey!

        The universe was created billions of years ago in different phases. Each phase is represented by the 7 'days' of the calendar referred to in the original bible. Each 'day' took millions of years, but we never came from single cells, fish or monkeys. Each creature has its own characteristics, and there is no way that all of the beautiful plant and animal creations of the world came from an evolutionary process of dying off. The flood and the ice age killed the dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures, but we were never chimps. The appendix does have a function, but if it bursts, you have to remove it to save your life. When it has to be removed, you need yogurt and probiotics to help your digestion. I know from experience because I lost my appendix at age 29 and ever since then I needed help with my digestion....

      sSo it's a good thing if your appendix blows up inside of you causing you to die? or is that an acceptable reason to have it removed?
