Earlier this month, a long kept list of Ph.D. scientists who “dissent from Darwinism” reached a milestone — it crossed the threshold of 1,000 signers.
“There are 1,043 scientists on the ‘A Scientific Dissent from Darwinism’ list. It passed the 1,000 mark this month,” said Sarah Chaffee, a program officer for the Discovery Institute, which maintains the list.
“A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism” is a simple, 32-word statement that reads: “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.”

You mean the Appendix, who's only purpose is to explode periodically, is not an intelligent design?

Some research suggests that the appendix serves as a reservoir of microbes, ready to re-colonize the gut if your gut microbes are wiped out or depleted.

Not the appendix so much since, as the reply says, it could be a way of recovering from total gut-flora devastation. Years ago, I actually took down notes in a text file somewhere of some of the weirdest, dumbest "designs" in the animal kingdom. It's too long for the lameness filter, so pastebin'd here: https://pastebin.com/mpj06XAG [pastebin.com]
There are some real doozies in here. Like, "okay, my new religion is maltheism because FUCKING EXPLAIN THIS OTHERWISE!" bad.
