Prothero Attacks “Intelligent” Design
November 6, 2007
David Prothero just recently his new book, “Evolution: What the Fossils Say and Why It Matters”, in which he takes off the kid gloves and really hits the creationist/intelligent design movement hard. Some of his arguments are just priceless. He really hits the “intelligent” part of intelligent design, suggested that humans are, in fact, poorly designed.
For example, human backs and feet are not meant for bipedalism, male nipples serve no functional purpose, nor does the appendix, and the human genome is full of non-functioning DNA.
Just an update, they have actually put forth persuasive evidence that the appendix would serve as a refuge for crucial intestinal bacteria in the event of a population collapse due to Gi disease or issues. It is largely not needed in the industrial world due to the conquest of diseases and acess to cultures in dairy products. And what are you talking about , you don’t like man nerps?
Well, since fetuses all start out developing into a female…that may be why men have nipples.
