Firstly, let me state that I'm posting this article blindly, as my site has stopped receiving news. So if I ask qestions raised already, please bear with me. To the proponents of Creationism: I have a few questions for you. If Man was created in basically the same form that he is today, with no intention of adaptive change (in other words, God made Man this way for ever and always), then why does Man have: 1. An appendix This bodily part has no purpose in digestion, so why is it there? 2. Toes The human foot has no need of the tiny appendages to provide a suitable foot. In fact, a hoof-like foot would be better for a creature who never lived in trees. 3. A non-rigid spine If Man has always walked erect, why does the human spine have so much difficulty in holding him in that position? You will note that evolution can explain all of these things quite well. Please post any rebuttals on the net, and if you feel like it, mail me a copy, since I won't see it on the net. -- Pete Hardie, Univ. of Florida, CIS Gould acct:..!akgua!uf-csv!uf-csg!hardie
