I would like to hear a priest give an explanation as well. It would probably be something like: “It’s a transponder for when god must strike you with lightning.” or “It’s the ballast that raises you to heaven or drags you HELL!”

As humorous as that may be, I would be interested in what SCIENTISTS will say, in time, as to it’s real function. To wit… Many things have been hastily called: “vestigial”. When a more accurate statement would be: “Right now, we are not sure what it does”. Examples: thymus, pituitary gland, tonsils, and introns. Personally, my money is on the vermiform appendix being part of the immune system.

I belive you mean “appendicectomy” or “appendectomy”, removal of the vermiform appendix. Appendicitis just means it is inflammed. And no. An appendectomy does not render you immune to god’s wrath. Once again the priest speaks: ” god will use the spirits of dead blood hounds to track your wicked soul”. Keep in mind that the blood hound (most likely) has wings as well. So you can’t out run it.
