| | Citing Scadding (1981): Poor Creationist Scholarship on Vestigial Structures |
 | | Rudimentary organs, on the other hand, are either quite useless, such as teeth which never cut through the gums, or almost useless, such as the wings of an ostrich, which serve merely as sails. | | | as was pointed out in the introduction, the term vestigial, is, as a rule, only applied to such organs as have lost their original physiological significance. | | | An analysis of the difficulties in unambiguously identifying functionless structures and an analysis of the nature of the argument, leads to the conclusion that 'vestigial organs' provide no evidence for evolutionary theory. |

| | There are also organs which are essential at a certain stage of development, but may have no apparent function later in life. | | | That there are literally dozens of organs in the human body which are functionless remnants (“vestigial organs”) of our evolutionary past. | | | For additional information about the function of the appendix, and for the most thorough treatment of the entire subject of vestigial organs, the reader is referred to the CRS monograph by Bergman and Howe (1990). |

| | Besides these human vestigial organs, examples of nonhuman vestigial organs given in the textbooks are very misleading. | | | Walt Brown writes concerning vestigial organs in general, "The existence of human organs whose function is unknown does not imply they are vestiges of organs inherited from our evolutionary ancestors. | | | As medical knowledge has increased, at least some functions of all organs have been discovered."
