The Appendix

[Lestat]

Somehow the discussion of organ/kidney donation came up at the poker table. I mentioned you can get by fine on one kidney. Then someone asked, "Then why do you think God give us two kidneys?". I responded that I didn't believe "God" gave us two kidneys and pointed out that we also have an appendix which to my understanding, is a completely worthless organ to us.

If I understand things correctly, our appendixes used to help in digesting bones and other hard to digest materials. But as we evolved, we didn't need them anymore. If I am wrong about this, I'd appreciate if someone could clarify this for me. But either way, my question to creationists is:

How do you account for the appendix? This seems a glaring case for evolution. Why would God create an organ in us that we don't need? In fact, the only thing this organ does do for humans now is cause problems or even death when it ruptures. So do you think this organ is present only for punishment? Or some other reason?
