Why did God create my apendix?

Question

There's no use for it. Why put it in there?

you're using wikipedia as an actual source?

Answer 1

spare parts.

Answer 2

I think it was used in earlier human life as part of the digestive system. Man ate more things that were hard to digest back during the early years of man. The appendix I think was used to help digest that food.

Answer 3

Conversation piece - nothing like an appendix on the mantle, along with a couple of wisdom teeth, a spleen and a gall bladder.

Answer 4

"The appendix is rich in infection-fighting lymphoid cells, suggesting that it might play a role in the immune system. Whether the appendix has a function, it is routinely removed without any ill effects or side effects.
Some experts believe that the appendix was for digesting leaves as primates, over time we have eaten less vegetables and over the thousands of years we have evolved for this organ to be smaller to make room for our stomach."

"Loren G. Martin argues that the appendix has a function in fetuses and adults. Endocrine cells have been found in the appendix of 11 week old fetuses that contribute to "biological control (homeostatic) mechanisms." In adults, Martin argues that the appendix acts as a lymphatic organ."

Answer 5

The appendix is rich in infection-fighting lymphoid cells, suggesting that it might play a role in the immune system. Whether the appendix has a significant function or not, it is routinely removed without any ill effects or side effects.

Okay, you don't like Wikipedia, I'll give you the original source, although it's a more difficult read....the original article in Scientific American Magazine...reprinted at their website. What is it with you people? I thought you were followers of the great God Science...can't stand to have some silly little statement refuted?

Answer 6

Because at some point it was useful and functioned as part of the filtration of toxins from your body...I guess too many years of inbreeding and just playing breeding is the culprit as to why it doesn't really work and is more likely to go bad on you!

Answer 7

To prove that evolution happened to the fundamentalists who claim to follow him. He also created pineapples to counter the banana argument.

Answer 8

You need to do your homework and stop accepting everything your evolution professor has spoon fed you. The appendix contains lymphatic tissue that polices bacteria entering the intestines thus increasing resistance to infection/disease.

Answer 9

Why did God create 90% of our brains if we will never use it?

Answer 10

So it can rupture at the most inconvenient of times

Answer 11

There was a use for it when we ate alot of raw meats and stuff.
