MO> And the function of the appendix is?

To rub in the faces of idiot Creationists (redundant).

The appendix just the tip (pardon the pun) of the vestigil
iceburg. Why do we have vestigil fingers on our feet? Why
do so many human infants get born with tail stubs? Why do
we have the masoidic assembly? Why do our nasal passages
drain into our lungs? Why are our ankles so damn thin and
weak compared to our weight and height? Why are our ribs
designed to carry weight horizontally?

Evolutionary Theory has the answers: Creationists do not.

Whales with legs; snakes with legs; snakes with one
atrophied lung; embryonic gill slits in ALL land animals;
the human jaw too small for the number of teeth it holds
(i.e. impacted wisdom teeth). Why would the gods make these
worthless, and often dangerous, vestigil features? Scientists
know the answer: I've yet to hear a Creationist offer any
rational explanation.
