More Strong Evidence for Evolution: Anatomical Vestiges

[Hollie]

Intelligent people know that our creatures have excellent body designs and there is a lack of "transitional forms."

Amazing Ant Beetle Same Today as Yesterday

If ancient history according to Scripture is true, then what should we expect to find in animal fossils? Surely excellent body designs would top the list, closely followed by a lack of "transitional forms." A newly discovered specialized beetle inside Indian amber provides another peek into the...

Thank the gods fot that blueprint for the cancer cell.

There are many examples of transitional forms. You won't find them at the Flat Earth ICR madrassah.

You're welcome.

But you still have no transitional fossils to back evolution. And you do not back your beliefs up of there being many examples.

Even your experts, Drs. Colin Patterson and Stephen J. Gould have admitted as much, but us creationists have to be exposed to otherwise.

"Note that Gould et al. were committed evolutionists; even interpreting the record through evolutionary eyes, they admitted that it was ‘extremely rare’ to find transitional forms, not that it was impossible in principle! Creationists would of course claim that there are none, except within a created kind. But even candidates for transitional forms are clearly so rare that Patterson was able to refer to Gould et al. as saying that there were (for all practical purposes) ‘no transitional fossils’. Yet a straightforward understanding of neo-Darwinism would suggest that there were many more transitional forms than the ‘end’ forms we see today. So one would expect ‘transitional’ fossils to dominate the record."

One would expect hyper-religious Flat Earth’ers to deny science.

There are thousands of examples of transitional fossils.

Lol. There isn't a single transitional fossil. You are delusional and have gone crazy. You are looney when it comes to science.

Another Evidence of Evolution.
Just part of an Overwhelming body of such.
One rarely mentioned but very telling.
Life can be traced to a continuum, with many creatures, including us, having anatomical vestiges of our evolutionary ancestors.
An 'immaculate creation' event wouldn't leave useless organs/etc.

Heavily Edited incl Numerous illustrations within as well as references deleted for brevity.

29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: Part 2
Douglas Theobald, Ph.D.
Prediction 2.1: Anatomical vestiges

Some of the most renowned Evidence for evolution are the various nonfunctional or rudimentary vestigial characters, Both Anatomical and Molecular, that are found throughout biology. A vestige is defined, independently of evolutionary theory, as a reduced and rudimentary structure compared to the same complex structure in other organisms. Vestigial characters, if functional, perform relatively simple, minor, or inessential functions using structures that were clearly designed for other complex purposes. Though many vestigial organs have no function, complete non-functionality is not a requirement for vestigiality...​

[.......]​

Geoffroy was at a loss for why exactly nature "always leaves vestiges of an organ", yet he could not deny his empirical observations. Ten years later, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) identified several vestigial structures in his Zoological Philosophy​

[.......]...these "Hypocritical" structures profess something that they do Not do—they clearly appear designed for a certain function which they do Not perform. However, Common Descent provides a scientific explanation for these peculiar structures. Existing species have different structures and perform different functions. If all living organisms descended from a common ancestor, then both functions and structures necessarily have been gained and lost in each lineage during macroevolutionary history. Therefore, from Common Descent and the constraint of gradualism, we predict that many organisms should retain vestigial structures as structural remnants of lost functions. Note that the exact evolutionary mechanism which created a vestigial structure is irrelevant as long as the mechanism is a gradual one.​

​

Confirmation:​

There are Many examples of rudimentary and Nonfunctional vestigial characters carried by organisms, and these can very often be explained in terms of evolutionary histories. For example, from independent phylogenetic evidence, snakes are known to be the descendants of four-legged reptiles. Most Pythons (which are legless snakes) carry Vestigial Pelvises hidden beneath their skin.. The Vestigial pelvis in Pythons is Not attached to vertebrae (as is the normal case in most vertebrates), and it simply floats in the abdominal cavity. Some lizards carry rudimentary, Vestigial Legs underneath their skin, undetectable from the outside...​

Many cave dwelling animals, such as the fish Astyanax mexicanus (the Mexican tetra) and the salamander species Typhlotriton spelaeus and Proteus anguinus, are blind yet have rudimentary, Vestigial eyes....​

[.......]​

The ancestors of Humans are known to have been herbivorous, and molar teeth are required for chewing and grinding plant material. Over 90% of all adult humans develop third molars (otherwise known as Wisdom Teeth).​

Usually these teeth never erupt from the gums, and in one Third of all individuals they are Malformed and Impacted [*]. These Useless teeth can cause significant pain, increased risk for injury, and may result in illness and even death [*]​

​

Another Vestige of our herbivorous ancestry is the vermiform appendix. While this intestinal structure may retain a function of some sort, perhaps in the development of the immune system, it is a rudimentary version of the much larger caecum that is essential for digestion of plants in other mammals..."​

​

Yet another human Vestigial structure is the coccyx, the four fused caudal vertebrae found at the base of the spine, exactly where most mammals and many other primates have external Tails protruding from the back. Humans and other apes are some of the only vertebrates that lack an external tail as an adult. The coccyx is a developmental Remnant of the embryonic tail that forms in humans and then is degraded and eaten by our immune system ... Our internal tail is UNnecessary for sitting, walking, and elimination (all of which are functions attributed to the coccyx by many anti-evolutionists). The caudal vertebrae of the coccyx can cause extreme and unnecessary chronic pain in some unfortunate people, a condition called coccydynia. The entire coccyx can be surgically removed without any ill effects (besides surgical complications)...""​

[.......]​

​

How many Millions of H sapiens and immediate predecessors, suffered and died from Wisdom Teeth impaction/infection?.​

Were it not for Modern dentistry in the last 100 years (yes, even after Jesus), humans who had these impacted/infected Wisdom teeth (most) would have slowly died out and the specie would have been gradually purged/adapted/Evolved eventually as in all traits of all animals.​

Everything that ever lived was, and is, 'intermediate' and constantly Evolving.​

Talk origins is pseudoscience -- talk.origins - Wikipedia.

Anyone that attempts to justify the theory of evolution based upon the commonality of DNA among different species actually denies the true application of science that demonstrates that all life on earth share DNA with mankind......even up to the point of primates having up to a 98.8% commonality with human DNA.....When Science is applied it proves that simple 1.2% can make all the difference in the world. All life on earth share a DNA signature because all of life is carbon based.

Simply because the Word of God declares that life was created from the earth (the elements common to earth) does not mean that Man and Animal are equal..........When God created life to the point that one animal was superior to another in becoming Sentient (the ability to comprehend the result of one's actions of one's own life as well as the how your decisions might effect the lives of others)............Its at creation where DNA commalities are calibrated.

Some will attempt to have the mule push the plow and declare that Creationists have it backwards.....there is no missing link necessary to prove in accepting evolution........because evolution stims from the fact of all primates having a common ancestor (as proven by genetics and DNA)..........of course All life species have a common ancestral link.........all of life on earth is carbon based. Then they classify man as a type of primate (the most evolved of the species.......which has a long list).

No one ever explains how DNA is added upon by mutation, why? Because mutation is just that.........an imperfect example of an existing DNA chain, something has been taken away producing mutated examples of a perfect 100%. Mutation can not add information it can only dilute information.

If evolution is true and we all came from a common ancestral primate........why do all these same species still exist at less than 100% of a human DNA signature? What? Are these lesser primates just to stupid to evolve and prove there is a law of physical science called EVOLUTION? Every species on earth can evolve when a dormant DNA trait is activated by need of adapting to the natural surroundings .........but there has never been any evidences of any species EVOLVING (adapting itself into a completely different species......such as cat becoming a dog........a feline becoming a member of the K9 species.......or a cold blooded animals such as a reptile evolving into a warm blooded creature...etc.,

thanks for the list.

Now comment on it. You had a lot to say, before your points were undermined. Does being buried in examples cause you to modify your earlier stance? Your response requires more than a flip "thank you".

Compelling evidence of common origin, all on its own. Then add.in the other stuff we know (unlike these goofy comments -- which address genetics in a vacuum -- scientists from different fields actually communicate and share knowledge, and all the evidence is mutually supportive)...

.. and evolution easily becomes clear as a fact. Deny it all you like, just stay away from a science classroom. So you don't get laughed out of the room.
