The Digestive System - Paul Anderson
Paul Anderson makes a passing remark on the appendix. He calls the appendix a vestigial organ meaning that the appendix has no purpose for us. An evolutionist considers a vestigial organ something we used to need, but we have evolved beyond our need of it.  Actually, according to the Scientific American, "the appendix probably helps to suppress potentially destructive humoral (blood- and lymph-borne) antibody responses while promoting local immunity." see link article



The Respiratory System

The only evolutionary tainted comments in this video are references to creatures coming up with different types of respiratory systems. The creatures didn't come up with different types of systems, God made them that way.
