That's another point that I've heard brought up a lot.



I'm surprised you didn't mention Santa in there.

It didn't get that far with Santa. My parents wanted to take all the credit for buying me that stuff.

That's good, I don't plan on doing the whole Santa thing when I have kids either. I just hope none of the kids I teach in the kids ministry at church ask me about Santa.

Some people assume the appendix has no function and is proof of an evolutionary quirk. Some research shows it does have a function. Here is an article that delves into this. Does the appendix serve a purpose in any animal?: Scientific American

Here is another interesting story about the appendix. A boy swallowed lead pellets and many of them became trapped in the appendix. This story augments the previous story. Source of Boy's Mysterious Lead Poisoning Was in an Unlikely Place | LiveScience

It's also prone to swelling and kills people sometimes. Go figure...

I assumed the appendix was once our second stomach, but we don't eat the same types of food we once did so there is no need for it anymore.

I've never done any research into that though. I think my dad told me it when I was a kid. And my dad never lied!

Well, apart from when he told me that gypsies stole children, or when he told me that he buried my dead hamster in the park but he really flushed it down the toilet, or had me convinced that the local library was infact a prison for naughty young boys.

Hmm actually he lied about a lot things lol

I found that article interesting as it suggests the appendix augments our immune system. Although it was maligned as being vestigial. Either way it is interesting.

Yes it can cause death. 1.2% of hospital admissions are from appendicitis.

I so sorry. The God you don't beleive loves you more than you can imagine, He is not a God of magic but reality. don't fall into this deception. I know you think I am deceived. But if I am, what harm have I caused, but if your wrong what harm have you caused. Before debating with me please read through, I would thank you for that. I really don't wan't to keep repeating myself as I have for the past few weeks. For a starter lets look at clothes and why we wear them, please refer to my earlier post and will get back. For now I gotta go nite nite. God bless.

I can tell you why I wear clothes.

For numerous reasons!

Firstly when I'm at home it's not unusual for me to walk around naked. If I went outside naked I would likely be yelled at or be approached by a policeman. If i didn't wear clothes near a child's playground I would be regarded as some sort of pedophile or whatever.

If its warm I will wear less clothes than if its cold. When I'm swimming I'll wear only swimming shorts and when I'm going out in the snow you can't see any skin on show at all!

Other people wear certain types of them to look nice and show their status.

There is no deep meaning for why I wear clothes. I wear/don't wear them for practical reasons based on the situation as well as awareness of my environment.

Oh dear. I wouldn't have expected that from someone like you, maybe for other atheists.

Would you say that people living longer and longer as generations pass is a sign of evolution? Or just a better understanding of medicine and nutrition?

I understand that the modern increase in lifespan is primarily attributed to scientific advancement.
