The Coccyx (Human Tailbone)
by John Hinton
One of the most astounding
and preposterous claims made by evolutionists is that the human
coccyx is the remains of an ancient tail. This is certainly a
very amusing notion on one level, but the humor of the tale of
the tail is lost when it is pointed out that it is still being
taught to public school children as science. The suggestion is
that we lost this tail because we no longer need it. I would
agree with Kent Hovind that a tail would still come in handy.
For instance, at the moment that I am writing this essay I am
using both hands to type; I sure would like to be able to take a
sip from my coffee cup without interrupting my typing. I could
even turn the pages of music without interrupting the music. I
have this Bach piece with a page turn in the middle of a flurry
of 32nd notes that was troubling me just today. Why would we
lose something so handy?
If we did use to have a
tail, I wonder what we did with it that was so unimportant.
Perhaps we used it to wag when we were happy to see other
people, and we later decided that shaking hands was more
dignified, so the tails just started falling off. Or maybe the
tails were prehensile and we started overeating and got too
heavy for the tails, and they just started breaking off when we
tried to hang from trees. These wacky scientists (falsely so
called) actually go on to say that this "vestigial tail" has no
use at all now that it has fallen or broken off. The coccyx is
more than the end of the spinal column. The human coccyx is the
attachment point of nine muscles that allow for a number of
movements, most important of which is for the act of defecation.
Evolutionists should ask Ashley Murry of Wilmington, Delaware if
she agrees with their conclusion that a coccyx is unnecessary.
This young woman will be forced to wear a diaper for her entire
life because she was born without a coccyx. It is unlikely that
she would be very supportive of their contention.1
Another important use of the coccyx is that it assists us in the
act of sitting. It is not impossible to sit without one, but it
is awkward and uncomfortable. Furthermore, the coccyx helps to
support certain internal organs.2
Even if we were not
able to point to a precise use for the coccyx, it would still be
a great absurdity to state that the end of the spine is useless.
The spine has to end somewhere, so why not with the coccyx. It
would not make a lot of sense for it to end with an open and
unprotected spinal cord, it would be painful and messy with all
of the spinal fluid dripping out into one's legs. This error on
the behalf of false scientists is by no means harmless. My
stepfather was told by an incompetent doctor that he needed to
have his coccyx removed due to a back problem. Fortunately, he
got a second opinion from a doctor who not only told him that
the only thing that he needed was a series of back exercises,
but that the coccyx removal operation was no longer performed by
doctors. Nevertheless, apparently it was performed until fairly
recent times. Those doctors who fell for this Darwinian nonsense
about the coccyx would have discovered the error within
twenty-four hours after their very first operation. By the way,
my stepfather has not had any serious back problems in the last
30 years since following the doctor with the second opinion, and
he saved a sizeable amount of money that he would have had to
spend on adult diapers, braces, and follow-up surgeries. As
absurd as the claim of the coccyx being useless is, it still
persists.
Professed expert on
science and evolutionary proponent, Isaac Asimov, numbers among
modern "scientists" who have used the coccyx as an example of a
vestigial organ.3 Why does he have any credibility at
all, if he can believe such a yarn? The persistence of this
false belief is without excuse and must be seen for what it is,
propaganda for Darwinistic religion, and another great piece of
evidence of the stupidity of evolutionists.
