Unlike the OP, as a Bronze Age thinker, I like science stuff quite a bit.

I was making fun of the very scientific premise of: DERP! Whattabout the appendix? DERP!

The OP has an issue with science but wants to argue about it the religious people. Makes sense in a religion hater sort way I guess, but he still should have checked his sources better.

I found debate about it in 30 seconds or less. Isn't research a pillar of the scientific community or are assumptions just as good?

So you were being sarcastic? In either case, I don't think it's fair to fault people for not being up-to-date on cases where science has recently corrected long-held common knowledge like the appendix being useless. OP is basically making the "argument from bad design," of which there is plenty in nature.

They should be up to date before debating a topic.

I would argue that a vestigal organ isn’t a sign of a bad design. It’s a sign of how versatile and/or consistent organic matter can be.
