Answers with Ken Ham - The Tailbone—It’s Not a Tail
Published 9 hours ago
Description
This is Ken Ham, inviting you to the Bible-upholding Creation Museum in Northern Kentucky.
Have you ever fallen on your tailbone? It hurts horribly and you can’t sit, stand, or lie comfortably for a while. That’s because many of your important muscles are anchored to your tailbone so when you fall on it, all of those muscles get sore.
But the tailbone is often called a useless organ. Even the name “tailbone” suggests a time in our supposed evolution when we had tails. But, as a fall will demonstrate, the tailbone isn’t useless! Not only does it give your muscles somewhere to attach, they form a net to anchor your internal organs in place!
The idea of useless organs is not true.
