Talk:Counterexamples to Evolution (view source)
Revision as of 01:43, November 3, 2009
, 01:43, November 3, 2009→Kidneys
The phrase "The existence of ''two'' kidneys, which is unnecessary in most people..." seems to be a bit of a stretch. Most people can live a normal, healthy life with only one kidney, but have to take many precautions to ensure that the kidney is not damaged or over-worked. High blood pressure, proteinuria, and poor glomerular filtration are all relatively common ailments for those with only one kidney. I really don't view this as an argument for or against evolution (or creationism for that matter). --[[User:JLauttamus|Jeffrey W.

For the time being, I'm going to remove this claim. I wanted to wait to see what was said about it, but feel free to revert if you'd like to keep it in. --[[User:JLauttamus|Jeffrey W. Lauttamus]][[User_talk:JLauttamus|<sub>Discussion</sub>]] 20:43, 2 November 2009 (EST)
