Creationists: Can I hear your explanation for these human functions?

Question

The coccyx, or tailbone, is the remnant of a lost tail.

Wisdom teeth are vestigial third molars that humans' ancestors used to help in grinding down plant tissue.

The plica semilunaris is small fold of tissue on the inside corner of the eye. It is the vestigial remnant of the nictitating membrane (the "third eyelid") which is present in other animals.

I'd love to hear why we have these useless things explained by creation as "God thought it would be neat"!

Science has an explanation. It's called evilution.....

Answer 1

Well, God was a bit busy at the drawing board, what with all the other animals and the dinosaur hoax and all. So he started to draw in one too many bits, erasing it would have made a mess of the drawing so he thought "never mind, I'll just create them with smaller brains, they will never notice. Oh........ooops again!"

Answer 2

There are no vestigial organs. Just because you don't know the function of an organ doesn't mean it doesn't have a function, or lost its function.

The coccyx is not a vestigial "tailbone". It is an anchor point for 13 very important muscles that you cannot do without. If you believe you don't need your tailbone, bend over and I'll cut it out for you.

Wisdom teeth exist because Antediluvian humans were 9-12 foot tall giants and the extra tooth fit their skulls just fine. After the Flood, the atmosphere changed and humans got smaller, but they retained the extra tooth, which got crowded out.

In the human, the plica semilunaris is just a barrier between the tear duct and the eyeball. It does not prove evolution from anything.

Some people also think the appendix is vestigial, but it's not. It is a part of the immune system, where immune responses are initiated.

Besides, if vestigial organs DID exist, that would be evidence AGAINST evolution. We lose everything until we have it all?

And you're right, it IS "EVIL"ution.

Answer 3

Actually, the coccyx, or tailbone, is a vital anchor for certain muscles necessary for our upright posture.

Wisdom teeth are not evidences of evolution; rather, they are evidence for devolution. About 400 years ago, according to Orthodontist John W. Cuozzo, DDS, MS, the human jaw was actually larger. Today, perhaps by increased nutrition, but not because of evolution, it is growing smaller faster, thus the reason that wisdom teeth hurt when growing in--the jaw is smaller. Because of rapid maturation, wisdom teeth are now trying to erupt into a smaller space. Our bodies, rather than getting more efficient, are getting less so -- a result of sin.

Actually, the plica semilunaris, according to the Southwest Eye Institute, is a, "...tissue [that] allows the eye the freedom to move laterally without restriction. This extra fold of tissue is essential for proper sideways movement of the eye and if damaged, can cause double vision due to restriction of movement.

Of course, looking throughout creation, one will notice some things that are similar throughout. Why is this? Because all things have one Designer!

Romans 1:20 NIV
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

God bless!

Answer 4

1) Are you saying that the coccyx is just floating around in our body without actually being attached to anything? Just because something doesn’t have an apparent function doesn’t mean it has no purpose.
2) Are you saying we cannot use our wisdom teeth at all? If so I think you are rather misguided, but I could be wrong since I don’t have mine just yet.
3) Are you sure the plica semilunaris doesn’t serve some role in either holding the eye in place (minor role) or in controlling the flow of tears over and along the eye?


Science's THEORY of evolution also contradicts the scientific LAW of thermodynamics (2nd). I mean this in that on a large scale (as in not just on a molecular level but dealing with enough molecules to make an organism) everything tends to move or alter itself to a point where as little energy as possible is used to maintain its state. This is the principle that gun powder works on. Most biological compounds are quite complex and hold allot of energy in their bonds, which would mean that they would need to draw a lot of energy from their environment to be formed without a catalyst (most of those are also quite complex). This makes it unlikely to occur because the reaction removes the ability for other molecules like it to react by taking energy out of the system.

Also the odds of just parts of the cell just randomly forming are very small, given the fact that enzymes are defective if just one atom is out of place or omitted.

Answer 5

These examples are so good. Tell you what i believe in putting you money were your mouth is. You have a tail bone which your science type claim does nothing for the body. I will pick up the cost to have your tail bone removed and then we can check it out.
And correct me but do we still not eat with our molars and vegs to boot. If science was so pure then why all the fraud in every evoluation case ever presented. You know a lie is still a lie and evoluation is the biggest fraud ever pulled on man. This even is reported amoung your own people. There can be no mutation of a beneficial nature because the alpha male will destroy that anamial out right thus it will not happen. This has been proved tiem and time again. Get you facts rigth. Micro-evoluation is not macro-evoluation. The real question is how could life as we know it a carbon based creation have come to exist in a none carbon based planet as evoluation promotes. Thus one more great deception from the evoluation nuts. Life had to be created because of the complexity of the RNA of all life itself. The odds of life comeing about on it own is 10x820billion. Put it this way it would be like flying a jumbo jet at 50,000 and dumping out a billion bricks and them all falling to the earth and creating the tribume building with out any hands touching the bricks. Could not happen period. Science is pure, evoluation is not. Science is based on real research and evidence. Physics alone proved evoluation is a joke. Mechanics proved evoluation can't happen. Math atest that evoluation is wishful thinking. Biology even declares that cells have designed function. DNA AND RNA did nto just happen. These are more complex then you will ever imagain. Entergy studies of the decay of the gravity prove beyond a shadow of a dought that life has only been on this planet for a short time this go around, no more then 7000 years and that in our gravity field is weaking and will flip with in the next 2000 years. Destroying all life. This cycle happens evey 7000 to 10000 years. So is anything evolving NO! Cows do nto bring forth none cows. Pigs bring forth pigs. There is not macro-evoluation. There is mental retardation which is the case for evoluation promoters Charles Darwin GOD bless his soul said if you can't find any fossel record to prove this then it is false. Well he is right and it is a false as it gets. I rank evoluationist right up there with lawyers the scum of the earth pedding lies to make money.

Answer 6

The coccyx is what evolutionists call the remnants of a lost tail.
Wisdom teeth are there to replace the bad teeth we lose in life.
The plica whatever is used by humans that have contact lenses.

Answer 7

The human coccyx,actually,provides anchorage points for important muscles.

The mucosa and submucosa of the appendix are dominated by lymphoid nodules, and its primary function is as an organ of the lymphatic system.

Answer 8

EVILUTION...nice fruedian slip! Science actually has no explanation for these things either since they are only guessing....seriously..has there ever been a human species ever and i mean ever discovered that showed any "remnants of a functional coccyx, 3rd molar, or plica semilunaris...no they haven`t so please explain why not? Why have we found dinosaur creatures but no humans in various stages of evolution...because the theory doesn`t hold water.

Answer 9

Well, firstly you must understand there is still A LOT we dont know about the human body or its history. the "vestigial" structures we THINK have no KNOWN function. Its possible they could have a function, we just haven't found it.

why is it there? God only knows.

p.s. i have my b.s. in genetics and i dont buy the whole theory. a lot of missing pieces.

Answer 10

It's actually 'evOlution', and for some, (not creationists, admittedly) the explanation is that God was the start of evolution- the start of life. Not of humans in the Adam and Eve sense but in the 'a small flicker in some ooze' kind.

But that's besides the point.
The real question is why do you insist upon pointing out the flaws in people's arguments when you aren't in an argument in the first place?
it just comes off as cruelty- instead of attempting to heal the gap between creationists and people who believe in evolution you're deliberately trying to cause an argument that, frankly, neither side can win.
