In this episode, we dive into a popular talking point in evolutionary biology—vestigial organs. Once hailed as "proof" of Darwinian evolution, organs like the human tonsils were commonly cited as leftover structures with no real purpose. But is that really true? Join us as we explore how this claim made its way into classrooms and textbooks—and why it’s being challenged even today. Whether you're a science enthusiast, skeptic, or just curious, this episode will give you a thought-provoking look at how the tonsils are understood to be part of God’s incredible and purposeful design for the human body.
