The last hominids were created to have a relationship with their creator, for better or worse. Previous designs weren't.

It's More Intelligent to Think That Everything Has or Had a Purpose

It's possible that the appendix once protected the body from radiation. The farther back in time, the more radiation there was, before the radioactive elements decayed into their final forms.

It could have been a vestige of a previous design or it may have a function.

Saying it's design but not saying what that design is ... that's uneducated ...

Saying it's God design is as uneducated as it gets ... but what would a war-monger know of God? ...

The design was to have children. And give them dominion over what He created for them. He explained the physics He used to create it all, and the dimensions He used. And describes our future.
Man is the warmonger.

Well, God is an "extraterrestrial". Try as we might we can't find the cause of the creation here on earth.

A complete explanation or not , the literal meaning of an after life is genetic continuance , so stop confusing the literal meaning of an after life with the metaphorical means by which to achieve a literal after life .

Anthropic principle - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

In cosmology, the anthropic principle, also known as the observation selection effect, is the proposition that the range of possible observations that could be made about the universe is limited by the fact that observations are only possible in the type of universe that is capable of developing observers in the first place. Proponents of the anthropic principle argue that it explains why the universe has the age and the fundamental physical constants necessary to accommodate intelligent life. If either had been significantly different, no one would have been around to make observations. Anthropic reasoning has been used to address the question as to why certain measured physical constants take the values that they do, rather than some other arbitrary values, and to explain a perception that the universe appears to be finely tuned for the existence of life.

[DGS49]

I believe that the act of creation was singular, and "god" declines to be involved much as creation plays out. The universe was intended to be virtually perpetual, and the various dynamics (e.g., the seasons) ensure long-term stability, even as they occasionally result in casualties and catastrophes from our human standpoint.

Regardless, to presume that creation just happened is just about as absurd as believing that there is a gray-haired old man up in the sky directing things.

 

[JoeB131]

As a general rule, the less you know about actual science, the more you are convinced that Evolution is a "fact." Lefties believe it as fervently as the most fervent Muslim believes in his religion. Hence rational discussion of the topic is usually pointless.

But it is a good teaching tool.

Explain the clitoris as an evolutionary development.

Easy. The Clit is an inverted penis. Both genders have pleasure centers in their genitalia to encourge reproduction.

Except no one claims it "just happened". It is the result of processes occurring over a long period of time.

Believers in evolution insist that unbelievers get educated about the subject. However, ironically, the more one studies anatomy and how the body functions (not evolutionary theory) the less likely one is to believe in evolution. Consider this in the grand scheme of human anatomy and function. Evolution or design?

Evolution, obviously.

An anatomical innovation occurs through natural selection. The creature that develops a light-sensitive area has an advantage over one that does not. When that light sensitive area evolves into an eye, then you have an advantage.

After You Let the Rulers Bring You to Your Knees, Kneel Before Them in Darkness

It is humans' intelligent self-design. Its purpose was both to keep living and to make life more enjoyable.

Early forms were able to capture useful parts of other creatures' DNA. As they became intelligent enough, they just took what they needed from the surroundings without having to make it part of themselves.

Intellect means "to select between." "Which object out there will I absorb, take, or reject?" Or ignore? Obviously, we are unfortunately brainwashed to ignore brains that are useful to all worthwhile humans.

Religion insults individual human intelligence. It even claims that inventors were mere nothing more than receptors of divine intelligence. So a god, Prometheus, brought the control of fire down to helpless humans, not the genius who first thought of making fire. Religion calls the bringer of light "Lucifer."

There was no Creation, only combinations of what was always there

I don't object to teaching evolutionary theories, so long as it is taught honestly.

Evolution is the most widely studied theory of origins of complex species, and Natural Selection is the most studied theory of evolution.

Neither are facts, and neither are verifiable nor disprovable via experimentation. They are Natural History, not Science.

There are other theories of origins, just as scientific, meaning also not verifiable.

Completely wrong. First, I think you totally do not understand the meaning of theory in science. Second, while Darwin's hypothesis of natural selection is the seminal work in evolution, vastly more has been learned since his time. And we are now engineering with genetics. And have mapped our own genetic DNA, and that of many, many other species. And that has traced our relationships to all life on Earth. And, yes, evolution has been verified with experimentation. Radiation and fruit flies, genetically modified organisms, including very recently a human child cured of a genetic defect that would have killed him by modifying his genetics.
