"A camel is a horse designed by committee."

If Intelligent Design advocates were really serious in their pseudo-scientific claims, they could deal with the attacks on their nonsense a little bit better. But since they are self-admittedly just trying to sneak religion into science, they miss some easy outs

Interestingly enough, the growing consensus among anatomists and physicians is that the appendix may have a function after all. But you raise a good point, and fortunately, one the ID advocates themselves are unable to use, since they're all really Christians anyway.

Even if the appendix has a function, it's still so poorly designed that it kills lots of people in horrible pain (or did until modern medicine intervened). It still doesn't make much sense according to Christian Creationism, though it works fine according to evolution and according to committee based intelligent design.
