I thought I recently read something suggesting that the appendix is kind of like a 'seed bank' for all the bacteria that live in your gut to aid in digestion - if your intestinal track got wiped out of all the 'probiotics' the appendix is there to save the day.

Also arguing over religion is probably one of the biggest wastes of time that I can imagine. It's utterly pointless to argue with people who only accept one world view as correct. Your insistence that there are other ways to look at life is an abrupt decay to their entire framework of existence - something so scary that they can only refute your points and cling to their fundamentalist views that insist upon the re-telling of thousands of years worth of stories conjured by earlier civilization to explain natural phenomena.

I'm perfectly fine with saying 'i don't know - maybe you're right'.
