Appendix has a job, and Uncommon Descent reminds us that is the last nail in evolution’s coffin. But this is just too funny. In the comments, Mats says:
oh, by the way, needless to say that, if this paper is confirmed, then Darwinists will spin this around and say that this new found function of the apendix is exacly what “evolution would predict”.
Why, funny you should mention…
The vermiform appendage—in which some recent medical writers have vainly endeavoured to find a utility—is the shrunken remainder of a large and normal intestine of a remote ancestor. This interpretation of it would stand even if it were found to have a certain use in the human body. Vestigial organs are sometimes pressed into a secondary use when their original function has been lost.
