Save the Phenomena

This is old news to me, but the article was brought to my attention, so I wanted to write about this topic again.

The Appendix: Useful And In Fact Promising

Regarding vestigial organs; the list used to contain dozens of organs and body parts, but over time, as scientists actually did their job, many have been reclassified and have been removed from the list. That in itself should motivate scientists to carry out the proper method of scientific inquiry! Even though this article is written by pro-evolutionists as made evident by the exclamation "we're not saying that Darwinian evolution is wrong", it goes a long way to show how scientists operate.

The violation that many pro Darwinian evolution scientists make is that whenever they can't explain something, they immediately define a cause that fits their preconceived theories BEFORE they complete all their observation and experimentation. As with vestigial organs; if they don't know what the purpose of the appendix is, they automatically classify it as a remnant of our evolutionary past. This was true with tonsils, adenoids, lymphatic glands, and many other organs.

Respectable science, when faced with an unanswered phenomena, should say "We don't know the purpose of this is or why it behaves the way it does, but with further observation we hope to discover the truth in time". I can respect that position. But instead they immediately apply ridiculous causes like chance or simply throw it in the category of "evolutionary remnant". To me that's scientific malpractice and at a minimum supreme arrogance.
