Splenetic

Yow. Chris Simms of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played part of his football game today with a ruptured spleen. "Losing a spleen is not life-threatening, though the lack of one can increase the risk of infections."

Query: How do proponents of Intelligent Design explain the fact that we have organs like the spleen and the appendix which aren't necessary to our survival? Did the Designer just have some spare parts?

You're going to hell now, you know that don't you? ;-)

Yeah, but that was pretty much a foregone conclusion when I stopped attending CCD and then Mass when I was a teenager. ;)
