If evolution were true, our bodies should be full of leftovers from the past. But, starting with God’s Word, our bodies are designed by God. They’re marred by the curse, but we wouldn’t expect to find them filled with useless structures. And we don’t!

One example of a so-called useless structure is the palmaris longus muscle. This muscle stretches from your arm to your palm and helps you flex your wrist. But about fifteen percent of people don’t have one and they get along just fine. So, is this muscle useless? Not at all. It actually gives better grip strength so while you’re fine without it, you’re better off with it.
