often hear the pseudo-scientific statement that says the tailbone in humans is a vestigial organ. We mean that we have here because we have inherited from our ancestors with tails. Since the very origin of the word refers to the tail or tail. In English the tip of the spine is called a "rump", short for Rabada, which derives from the tail. English is called "tailbone" (tail bone). However
tailbone (or coccyx) is Greek and means "cuckoo", referring to the curved shape of the beak of the cuckoo when viewed from the side. Let us remember that the fact that a body looks like another (or almost equal) does not imply resulting from it. See for example the eye of the octopus or the Tasmanian tiger.
Darwinists tell us that a vestigial organ is one which is a remainder of something that has already lost its function.

So to say that the coccyx is a vestigial organ, we should be able to say that it has no function . What if the tailbone is surgically removed?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccygectomy
If you look at the penultimate paragraph of the article (I translate into English):
To maintain normal bowel movements, the coccygectomy usually accompanied by re-connection (also known as re-alignment) of the two levator ani muscles and the perineum, pelvic diagragma parts. In adults undergoing coccygectomy, is a rare complication of posterior perineal hernia or coccygeal hernia. These hernias, bowel or other pelvic contents stand down and out of the pelvis through the weakened pelvic diaphragm. This complication has not been reported in people who underwent coccygectomy when you were a baby or child. A softer version of the hernia is when someone only has mitral (Sagging) of the pelvic diaphragm.
Well, if you really had no function, the coccyx, it need not be a problem when you remove it surgically. Let's see what wikipedia tells us in English about the functions of the coccyx:
The coccyx is not involved with the other vertebrae to support the body weight while standing, however, can be flexed before sitting lightly, indicating that it is bear some weight. The coccyx provides attachments for part of the gluteus maximus and coccygeal and anocoxígeo ligament, fibrous intersection pubococcygeus muscles.
Go, so it does not match the definition of vestigial, as the coccyx has some function. What says the English wikipedia? (Other than that it is vestigial, of course, as good Darwinists who are): [...]
fixation is important for several muscles, tendons and ligaments - which makes it necessary for doctors and patients pay particular attention to these fixations when considering surgical removal of the coccyx. [1] In addition, it is also part of the structure of weight-bearing tripod that supports a person to sit. When a person sits bent forward, the ischial tuberosity and inferior ramus of ischium bears most of the weight, but as the person sitting be leaning back, more weight is transferred to the coccyx. [1]
The front of the coccyx serves for holding a group of muscles important for many functions of the pelvic floor (defecation, continence, etc.): The levator ani, including the coccyx, the iliococcygeal and the pubococcygeus. Through anococcygeal raphe, the coccyx supports the position of the anus. Set the rear is the gluteus maximus which extends the thigh during walking. [1]
Many important ligaments are attached to the coccyx: The anterior and posterior sacrococcygeal ligament are continuations of the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments that extend along the entire column. [1] In addition, lateral sacrococcygeal ligament holes completed last sacral nerve. [6] And finally, some fibers of the sacrospinous ligaments and sacrotuberous (derived from the ischial spine and ischial tuberosity, respectively) are also attached to the coccyx. [1]
An extension of the pia mater, the filum terminale, extends from the apex of the cone, and inserted into the coccyx.

Well, I think it is perfectly clear that the coccyx has "some" functions. Of vestigial has nothing. But wait ... Do you know that the definition of "vestigial" Darwinists' no longer corresponds with the Royal Academy? As progressively, as science has progressed, the number of vestigial organs has decreased to zero, the definition of vestigial have been unusable.
In 1890 it was believed that there were 180 vestigial organs in the human body. In 1999 that amount was reduced to zero. All of them found a role. There is no organ in the human body has no role. The formerly believed that they had no function came from ignorance. So today, since they can not apply the correct definition of vestigial organs that the Darwinists are interested, have reinvented the definition. For them, a vestigial organ is one that is not doing the original functions.
Well, gentlemen, if you were a politician, or CrecePelo sellers, we would understand, but we're talking about science. It is very well redefine the words, change the concepts, to reach agreement by consensus, and so on, but it is quackery.
If a body has a function, that is there for something. To imagine other things to sustain nineteenth-century scientific theories leave it for charlatans.
PD: For the Darwinists who have read this and still continue to believe that the coccyx does not function, please ask someone to give them a kick in the coccyx. You'll see how they will not be able to do anything for the rest of the day, or walk, or sit ... Please Darwinists tested. Then tell me. Source
