I only answer good questions.

????????????


You made a claim while talking in abstracts.

I asked you for a specific example, instead of abstracts, to illustrate the accuracy of your claim.

That is a "bad question" now?

It seems more of a case of you not being willing and able to support your nonsense.

I am glad to read here, that when your knowledge is weak -- you admit it
Thank you, it keeps the continuity of this thread.
A wise person is wide open to the evidence
Bless you "Juve (?)"

Hi Loudmouth, and thank you for your participation in this thread ( I include the post previous to this one too ) - both engaging, positive and resourceful

I am sure that we could start a thousand threads on the things that you do not know about.


Vestigial does not mean "has no function". That would be your first mistake. Vestigial means, "not having the same function as that seen in other species". The human tailbone, for example, does not support the movement of a tail as seen in other species. That makes the human tailbone vestigial, even if it is found to have other rudimentary functions.

More importantly, vestigial organs are evidence for evolution because they match the proposed evolutionary history of species. For example, we find vestigial pelvises in whales. However, we don't find any vestigial feathers in any mammal species. Vestigial organs match evolutionary history, and that is why they are evidence.

Oh, that's his standard schtick. If he's faced with a question he can't answer, he'll deem it a question that's not worth his time answering and ignore it.

I say what I know. What I know is that it is wrong.

Hi 'Juve' ( is this a name you allow posters to use - I don't want to be rude )

Would you please elaborate on the second sentence?

It's not personal. It's a consistent observation of juve's behaviour.
I see no reason why it shouldn't be called out.

Aye, but then please address the error not the person --- I know this poster ( not personally ) and appreciate his thinking too

My experience told me that evolution is wrong.

If you've enjoyed that, you should like this. A little ditty by Billy Preston which is all of the argument one needs to dispel the myth of macro evolution as an explanation for the origin of life (or anything else in the material universe). Hit it, Billy!

Haven't bothered watching it as the description is incorrect. Again...the Theory of Evolution has nothing to do with explaining the origins of life.

I don't know much about vestigial organ about human. But I know what happened to the wrong idea about the appendix. As a consequence, I don't have any confidence to any of those suggestions. Provided that human is a really really bad example of evolution.

Since when did the human appendix start digesting plant material?

What scientists have been saying is that the human appendix no longer functions as part of a well developed caecum, which is the organ responsible for digesting plant material in species with a largely herbivorous diet. The lack of this function makes the human appendix vestigial. Finding some other rudimentary function for the human appendix does not change this conclusion since vestigial organs can have rudimentary functions.

So it should not happen.
You need to finish paragraphs before you make a response.

The point is that having a bad meal all to your self is better then having a good meal and having to share it with twenty people.

Adapting to a new environment gives you access to potential new feeding grounds and new hiding places.

Adapting to a new environment gives you access to potential new feeding grounds and new hiding places.

So, some capabilities that dealt with the old vanished environment should disappear. The function of the life form would keep its simplicity and efficiency.

This would be the last time I reiterate my point. If no new argument appear, then this would be it.

Evolution history shows a trend of change. So it is wrong.

Nonsense. Back up your claims with sources/evidence.

At this point, I don't even think you yourself know what you're arguing against.
