Evolution?
Vestigiality
Junk DNA and junk science

Vestigial organs, one of Darwin's key arguments.
Evolutionists believe that some organs or bodyparts, which are believed to have lost some or all of their function, are the useless remains of
evolution. It's called
vestigiality.
Evolutionist Douglas Futuyma said that
"vestigial structures make no sense without evolution".
They try to make themselves and the world believe that vestigiality is only explainable from an evolutionary point of view. For some typical evolution propaganda see for example
BrightSide - 15 Human Body Parts That Will Disappear One Day or
SciShow - Vestigial Structures or
Seeker - Why Don’t We Need Our Wisdom Teeth Anymore? or
2 Minute Classroom - Vestigial Structures, Evidence for Evolution
or any of the countless videos like those.
If evolution were true we would expect to see many useless remains of bodyparts in practically all life forms. However, with the advancement of
science we are discovering more and more functions of bodyparts once believed to be useless.
This makes vestigiality an argument from ignorance.
Most of the alleged vestigial bodyparts serve important functions which are often downplayed or ignored by evolutionists simply because
they want to mold these bodyparts into their belief system.
And if some bodyparts lost some of their function, as is perhaps the case with the
flightless cormorant, it is not evidence for evolution, but rather for evolution in the wrong direction, i.e.
degeneration.
The appendix

The lowly appendix, long-regarded as a useless evolutionary artifact, won newfound respect two years ago when researchers at
Duke University Medical Center proposed that it actually serves a critical function. The appendix, they said, is a safe haven where good bacteria
could hang out until they were needed to repopulate the gut after a nasty case of diarrhea, for example.
[The Coccyx] is an attachment point of a number of muscles at the pelvis.
We need it for upright locomotion. It would be catastrophic if it went away.
Fanatic evolutionist Jerry Coyne wrote that
"we humans have many vestigial features proving that we evolved. The most famous is the appendix". But in fact this proves nothing, except for the fact that evolutionists are biased in explaining such organs.
Vestigial bodyparts might just as well be evidence for degeneration.
As opposed to what silly evolutionists tell the world, the appendix has a very important function,
it serves as a storehouse for probiotics and also provides a variety of immune-related functions.
Wisdom teeth

It is now widely acknowledged today that these teeth are not rudimentary or vestigial: they aid in chewing our food as do all of our other 28 teeth.
The outdated vestigial organ conclusion, though, has influenced the extraction of billions of teeth,
the removal of many which may have been unnecessary according to current research.
Third-molar surgery or the removal of the impacted third molars is a multibillion-dollar industry generating significant income for the dental practitioners, particularly
oral and maxillofacial surgeons. It is driven by myths and misinformation that have been exposed before but that continue to be propagated by the profession.
Many evolutionists sell wisdom teeth as useless remains of evolution presenting the world with their common
just-so stories to fit the
science into their evolutionary worldview. But wisdom teeth simply aid in chewing.
Today wisdom teeth are no longer pulled for no reason, but only when they cause pain or trouble.
I have my wisdom teeth and they are just fine. Fortunately I had a dentist who was not so impressed with evolutionary just-so stories about
useless teeth that should be pulled at first opportunity.
Body hair

Androgenic hair provides tactile sensory input by transferring hair movement and vibration via the shaft to sensory nerves within the skin. ...
Androgenic hair extends the sense of touch beyond the surface of the skin into the air and space surrounding it,
detecting air movements as well as hair displacement from contact by insects or objects.
A hair plexus or root hair plexus is a special group of nerve fiber endings and serves as a very sensitive mechanoreceptor for touch sensation.
Each hair plexus forms a network around a hair follicle and is a receptor, which means it sends and receives nerve impulses to and from the brain when the hair moves.
Evolutionists say that body hair is useless on humans. The function of body hair is even on biased Wikipedia.
Goose bumps

Goosebumps, by causing hairs to stand erect, extend the reach of our tactile sense to it's maximum distance beyond the skin.
They also cause the hair shafts to separate which reduces the amount of dampening of movements and vibrations, thus increasing sensitivity to small stimuli.
When a person is confronted with fear or cold, muscle fibers contract in the skin, forming goose bumps.
This muscular activity produces heat, and thus raises the body temperature.
(source: Marshall Cavendish Illustrated Encyclopedia of Family Health, vol. 19, p. 2052.)
Blood vessels leading to the skin capillaries become narrower - they constrict - letting less blood flow through the skin and conserving heat in the body.
Evolutionists say that goosebumps are useless. Wrong again. Etcetera.
Junk DNA or junk science?


It is a remarkable fact that the greater part (95 per cent in the case of humans) of the
genome might as well not be there, for all the difference it makes.
In this book hailed by many evolutionists around the world this fanatic evolutionist and
atheist said that 95% of the human genome is useless junk.
This man used to be "Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University" and he is of course hailed by many like-minded atheists around the world.
Evolution "professors" like this one base their conclusions on the evolutionary worldview and they refuse to see any other explanations.
However, also this evolutionary prediction turned out to be wrong, dead wrong...
Pseudogenes have long been labeled as "junk" DNA, failed copies of genes that arise during the evolution of genomes.
However, recent results are challenging this moniker; indeed, some pseudogenes appear to harbor the potential to regulate their protein-coding cousins.
Far from being silent relics, many pseudogenes are transcribed into RNA, some exhibiting a tissue-specific pattern of activation.
The human genome encodes the blueprint of life, but the function of the vast majority of its nearly three billion bases is unknown. The
Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project has systematically mapped regions of transcription, transcription factor association, chromatin structure, and histone modification.
These data enabled us to assign biological functions for 80% of the genome,
in particular outside of the well-studied protein-coding regions.
Researchers linked more than 80 percent of the human genome sequence to a specific
biological function and mapped more than
4 million regulatory regions where proteins specifically interact with the DNA.
These findings represent a significant advance in understanding the precise and complex controls over the expression of
genetic information within a
cell.
The findings bring into much sharper focus the continually active genome in which proteins routinely turn genes on and off using sites
that are sometimes at great distances from the genes themselves. They also identify where chemical modifications of
DNA influence gene expression and where various functional forms of RNA, a form of nucleic acid related to
DNA, help regulate the whole system.
Junk DNA has traditionally been defined by what it isn't. It's the bits of the genome that don't code for the strings of amino acids that form proteins.
It was dismissed for a long time as having no function. Which is a pretty classic example of the surprisingly common phenomenon in biology where,
if we don't know something, we assume there is nothing to know. Whoops.
Thanks to true science much of the genome that is being disputed by critics is shown to be involved in
epigenetic regulation such as gene expression and appears to be
necessary for the development of complex organisms. Time Magazine said
"it's a lot more complex than we ever thought".
The reality is that as time moves on true
science discovers more and more
specified complexity in the design of life. Professor
Chris Ponting pointed out that
"amazingly, there were calls from some sections to only map the bits of genome that coded for protein - mapping the rest was thought to be a waste of time.
It is very lucky that entire genomes were mapped, as this work is showing".
This is an example where evolutionists with their preconceived belief obstruct scientific research in the field of
genetics. Here's another example of a fanatic evolutionist showing contempt for true science...

Darwin-lover Nick Matzke
Skepticism has arisen spontaneously from all over the scientific blogosphere, facebook, and twitter. You see, most of us scientists know
that ENCODE is using an extremely liberal and dubious definition of "function", basically meaning "some detectable chemical activity". ...
All the evidence for relative nonfunctionality which has been known for decades is still there and hasn't really changed. ...
But I'm beginning to think that certain parts of molecular biology and bioinformatics are populated with people who are very smart, but who
got through school with a lot of detailed technical training but without enough broad training in basic comparative biology.
Panda's Thumb is a fanatic pro-evolution blog from the world of
mainstream science.
Nick Matzke is a fanatic evolutionist who is closely related to
NCSE. In this article this so-called "scientist" tries to downplay the hardcore
scientific research done by the prestigious
Human Genome Project.
He even goes as far as to say that those true scientists need more indoctrination from "comparative" biology.
As its name already suggests "comparative" biology is based on
metaphysics and the unprovable philosophy
naturalism while the research he criticizes is
true science.
Here's a very useful bodypart especially for those rapers of true science...
