I asked because appendix is functionless in the body and whether evolution plays a role.

Highly unlikely... if you know how natural selection works. The appendix is not really a disadvantage to have so natural selection will never select against it. Just because it's useless doesn't mean it will go away. It's only when it's harms an organism's chance of survival and procreation will it be selected against. Rarely people get appendicitis and even fewer die from appendicitis nowadays.

You are assuming that something undying is dying...that something eternal and without time has come to the end of his time...that something incorruptable has a disease...\nThis is not only illogical, but the assumpitions go against the very nature of the being against which you suppose.  Thus, the assumptions must be false.\n\nIf I were to ask you this:  Would you drive a car that had no wheels, no doors, no engine or motor, and no frame?  Your only response should be "the question is illogical, for that is no longer a car."  Thus is my response...in your question, that is no longer God.

could be pregant, appendix  maybe is infected possibly gall bladder. YOu might have stones in their somewhere.

You might want to see a doctor, there is always a possibility that it could be your appendix....are you having a normal appetite? Can you hold anything down? The easiest way to tell is, and yes I know this sounds stupid, but jump on your right leg, if you have an intense pain in your right side, I would suggest going to the doctor. I am not a doctor or anything, but I had this happen not to long ago and that is what my doctor was worried about.

you can have a tendon snipped, should be good for a little bit more, but all in all you can't do much, so you better re-invent your lovemaking. and, frankly, from the tone of the question, doing some to make it sound less like his complete unabridged fault might be good too. nobody asks for a small one

Reason why male have nipples:\n1. To distinguish that they are mammals.\n2.A human baby inherits one copy of every gene from his or her father and one copy of every gene from his or her mother.\n3. It is the effect of the genes.\n\nReason for spleen:\nSpleen is a purplish-red organ shaped like a loose fist and located in the upper-left part of your abdominal cavity. It had been called "the most ignored and misunderstood of all organs." In ancient times, people believed it was the seat of the emotions, but actually it is an integral part of your immune system.\nJob description includes: \n1.filtering out foreign organisms that infect your blood \n2.removing your old or damaged platelets and red blood cells \n3.storing extra blood and releasing it as needed \n4.forming some types of white blood cells \nIf the spleen can be injured or diseased it can be removed through spleenectomy, you can live without it however,your resistance to infection will be lowered, at least initially. \n\nAppendix\nThe appendix is thought to have descended from an organ in our distant herbivorous ancestors called the cecum (or caecum). The cecum is maintained in modern herbivores, where it houses the bacteria that digest cellulose, a chemically tough carbohydrate that these animals could not otherwise utilize. The human appendix contains no significant number of these bacteria, and cellulose is indigestible to us. It seems likely that the appendix lost this function before our ancestors became recognizably human.\n\nSee my dear, this organs my not be vital as others but to maintain the human body in the state of balance equilibrium.

I believe that evolution is a well substantiated scientific theory, there is no scientific evidence that refutes it, and there is currently no valid alternative theory.  I do want to state, however, that evolution is not "proven fact," it is a well substantiated scientific theory (sorry rexmind).  There is a difference.  Evolution can, in theory, be proven false, although it is unlikely this will happen as a preponderance of evidence suggests that it is true.  Certainly the propoganda and fallacious argumentation produced by proponents of creationism or "intelligent design" does not even begin to suggest that the theory of evolution might be discredited.\n\nScience is not about finding a single piece of evidence to conclusively prove a theory. It's about constructing theories to fit the existing evidence and gathering new evidence that supports or refutes existing theories. Evolution is supported by a preponderance of evidence. While no one point conclusively proves it, when all the evidence is considered in the context of existing scientific knowledge evolution is a well substantiated theory. Intelligent design is not.  What follows are brief explanations of some of the evidence that supports the theory of evolution.\n\n1. Vestigial structures\n\nOne example of a vestigial structure in humans is the appendix. It has no function. Removing it is harmful only in so far as any surgery is associated with certain risks (so I wouldn't have it removed just for fun, but it's because of the surgery not the absence of the appendix). An appendix is found in several mammals. In humans it is small and has no known function. In rabbits and many other herbivores it is large and is used in the digestion of cellulose.\n\nAnother example of a vestigial structure is the hipbones of snakes. Snakes evolved from quadrupeds, and some species still retain not on pelvises, but tiny protrusions of bone in a location that corresponds to the location of the legs in other quadrupeds.\n\n2. Microevolution can be observed in both a controlled laboratory setting and in nature.\n\nCreationists will tell you that microevolution does not prove macroevolution.  This is true.  However, it does provide evidence that macroevolution may be possible. Taken in the context of the other evidence for evolution, microevolution provides a mechanism by which macroevolution could occur. On its own, it doesn't prove that macroevolution occurs, but it does suggest that it is possible.\n\n3. The fossil record.\n\nAlthough the fossil record does not provide a “complete” record as fossils form only under certain conditions, it does show a gradual change in the morphology of species as well as numerous extinct species.  There are a number of methods used to date fossils, and the time period from which a fossil comes can be determined with reasonable accuracy.\n\n4. Imperfect structures (the blind spot of the mammalian eye, for example).\n\nI want to mention the bind-spot of the mammalian eye specifically because creationists often hold up the human eye up as an example of something that is too perfect to occur by "chance" (i.e. as the result of the natural selection of beneficial changes among random mutations).\n\nThere are also numerous examples where the morphology of a species is constrained by similar patterns in its ancestors (quadrupeds, vertebrates, etc.).\n\n5. Developmental biology reflects evolutionary lineage.\n\nCreationists like to bring up a man named Haeckel in response to this argument.  Haeckel suggested that development reflects evolutionary origin.  It was later discovered that several of the sketches he used as evidence over-exaggerated certain features, and some were of different embryos all together. However, many of his sketches do accurately reflect the morphology of the embryo. Haeckel's methods were sometimes wrong and his ethics were poor, but it just so happens that his theory turned out to be fairl

Although I am so  ,I see no reason why a naturally occurring skin appendage should be removed. It is a phony pseudo religious act. It seems that the Jews started it and the Malsoms followed along. I would never personally have it done.

because we evolved to be best at surviving, so having two arms on one side would not aid survival at all. what a stupid question! you are trying to make an intelligent point but you just sound really stupid!!

Evolution doesn't eliminate everything which is useless. It will remove anything which is a disadvantage. For example, if it slows us down while running or makes us less intelligent, then it would have disappeared long ago.\n\nPubic and underarm hair may not have a reason to exist, but it also doesn't harm us, so it's still around. It may or may not disappear from humanity several thousand years from now.\n\nA few other points:\n- Some people believe that the underarm and pubic hair is used to reduce chafing. You'll notice that the crotch and armpits are two areas where the human body rubs against itself the most.\n- Some people believe that the underarm and pubic hair is used to hold in the pheromones that we produce. The crotch and underarms are two of the smelliest places on the human body.\n- In Asia, there are people who are actually born without underarm or pubic hair. However, in places like Korea, pubic hair is considered a sign of fertility, so many of the women born without pubic hair actually transplant hair from their head to their pubic area.

Appendix? It gets infected and can burst which is very dangerous. It is an organ your body doesn't need and if you have trouble with it the sensible thing to do is have it removed. It is a simple surgery & then your troubles are over.

MicroEVOLUTION isn't evolution huh?\n\nWhat sort of bizzare nonsense is this? \n\nNext you'll be teling us that microeconomics isn't economics and that microsurgery isn't surgery.

this is a nice question\n&we can resolve the ans by the diff of current life & the life before 500 yrs\nthe biological changes wold be\n1 lose of appendix &nicetin membrane\n2 lose of the smallest fingures of legs\n\n\ntecnology will be much more advance\nwe might not go to office &schools

I know I won't get 10 points out of this and I don't care. Once I got up from laughing I had to say. There is no "oneness" just because you had sex. I know people try to make that conclusion to make themselves feel better about it. Or to justify a booty call. It is no more the oneness of screwing a bolt into a nut. They don't become anything new. they don't become a single fastener, they are still just a bolt with a nut, period. If I gave a kidney to someone that would make me more apart of them? Let me go back to laughing some more Ha ha ha ha.............

Homologous parts is about comparing *two* species (or male and female from the same species).\n\nTherefore only #2 is an example of homologous parts (as it is a comparison between dogs and humans).\n#1, 3, and 4 are examples of vestigial organs (or more correctly, 'vestigial structures' ... as sometimes the thing is so useless that it can't be called an 'organ' ... like the python leg bones).\n\nBy the way, some people might question whether human ear muscles are truly vestigial, because they are operational in some people (I can wiggle my ears).  However even if they work, it's hard to find a *purpose* for them, as is needed in other species to move ears for better hearing.  Similarly, some people claim that the human appendix sometimes serves some function for fighting infection.  However, the tailbone has no apparent function ... it's just a throwback to our embryology and ancestry.

Sounds like a question that you should ask your doctor.

Simple answer: NO.  You got what you are born with unless you go for surgery.
