Man created in god's image

[Undeceived]

Why did God give men nipples? Why the appendix? The spleen? Wisdom teeth?

The appendix is a safehouse for good bacteria--helps fight off diseases. The spleen helps filter out old blood cells as well as keeping reserves of blood cells and monocytes. Jaw sizes have decreased over generations, but wisdom teeth were indeed helpful to earlier humans (we only need to go back a couple hundred years for this to be the case). The coccyx has a host of functions (http://www.angelfire.com/mi/dinosaurs/tailbone.html ). Above all, it is a bone used for support. Nothing about the coccyx screams ‘tail’ except its location and shape. Bottom line, a bone needs to sit in the cavity beneath our vertebrae and the coccyx fits the bill.

Male nipples are an example of design economy. A female’s breast tissue is just as useless as male’s until puberty, meaning the embryonic stage is not the diverging point. This is crucial because it requires random evolutionary processes to develop the nipple before milk came along. Moreover, human evolutionary history claims male and female divergence occurred first in reptiles. Nipples would then require an additional divergence in humans, eliminating males from breastfeeding for no seemingly reason at all. In short, the topic of nipples poses a bigger problem for evolution than it does for an omniscient creator.

The question that should be asked is why we don’t find any vestigial DNA—remnants of codes for tissues/organs we do not exhibit on our bodies. The fact we have not suggests humans have always had what current phenotypes show and nothing else. New uses are constantly being discovered. For a long time, 98% of the human genome was pronounced “junk” by over-anxious scientists. Recently, 80% has been discovered to have a use (http://www.evolutionnews.org/2012/09/jun...64001.html ) and scientists have no reason to believe the rest does not. The 80% includes over 4 million ‘gene switches.’ Scientists now know that any functioning mutation needs not only the initial mutation but a mutation for the gene switch to turn that new function on. A self-professed rule of science: restrict judgment until the all information comes in. For some reason, evolutionists talking about vestigial organs have ignored it.
