no--heres why
As a supporting evidence for evolution, vestigial organs have been vigorously attacked by creationists. They often claim that for an organ to be "vestigial" it must be utterly useless. This is a misrepresentation: an organ in a modern animal may be described as vestigial if it does not serve the same function in the modern animal as the cognate organ served in an ancestor, even if the modern organ serves a completely different use. An example is the gas bladder of many fish, which is thought to be a vestigial lung, "left over" from the occasionally-air-gasping common ancestor of ray-finned fish and land vertebrates.

Like those that believe in Adam and Eve know what vestigial features are? I'm going to predict the answer (by someone who can define vestigial) as, "God put IT (ie the appendix, toes, the tailbone, improperly rotated hips etc) there for a reason." Good luck.
Edit: a pancreas is not vestigial, we all need our pancreas to digest fats

Totally. But God didn't MEAN to put those wierd useless things in us... he just sorta spaced out ya know? Maybe he was having a rough day or maybe he was a little hungover from the night before. It happens to the best of us, lets just cut him a little slack... I mean it's not like he's the most powerful and perfect being in the world who supposedly fabricated the universe and can do whatever he wants because he defies the laws of nature or something!! HA!!... Oh... wait...

Well if you believe in Adam and Eve then they would of had to have a pancreas because we know their "decendents" probably surrvived by eating bone marrow, and a pancreas is very useful for that.

No, the appendix served a purpose to digest Garden of Eden vegetables. But since we got kicked out, that's why we don't need it anymore.

I'm assuming Adam had nipples.

Well what do you know, you don't have a life. I'm working from home today and here you are asking these silly questions. You're searching buddy, searching for something. Jesus love you man, all you have to do is ask and He'll be there.

I wonder if they had belly buttons.....
They weren't born like the rest of us, so no umbilical cord was stuck there.
Hmmmmmm??????
