DARWINISM REFUTED

The appendix (above), which evolutionists thought
to be a vestigial organ, has now been understood
to play an important part in the body's immune
system. The coccyx at the lower end of the
vertebral column is also not a vestigial organ but
provides an attachment for our pelvic organs so
that they will not collapse.

appendix does not exist in some ape species that are said to be ancestors
of man. The famous biologist H. Enoch, who challenged the theory of
vestigial organs, expressed this logical error as follows:
Apes possess an appendix, whereas their less immediate relatives, the lower
apes, do not; but it appears again among the still lower mammals such as the
opossum. How can the evolutionists account for this? 307
Beside all of this, the claim that an organ which is not used atrophies
and disappears over time carries a logical inconsistency within it. Darwin
was aware of this inconsistency, and made the following confession in The
Origin of Species:
There remains, however, this difficulty. After an organ has ceased being
used, and has become in consequence much reduced, how can it be still
further reduced in size until the merest vestige is left; and how can it be
finally quite obliterated? It is scarcely possible that disuse can go on
producing any further effect after the organ has once been rendered
