you have a good point, scientists always jump to a conclusion.
For example, scientests find we have a "tailbone" which is vestigalent... wrong

Aside from your horrific misspelling, you've botched the definition of "vestigal"; it just means we don't use it the same way we used to.
Besides, we have plenty of (classically defined) vestigal organs anyway. Appendix, anyone?
Um....I've broken it. I've seen the X-rays of the break. I've gone through the 6 months of pain and discomfort while it healed.
Yes, you do have a tailbone. If you don't believe that, then go have some biker kick you in the ass a few times until you hear a crack and are in intense pain. That was your "tailbone" breaking.
Not only do humans have a "tail", it's a faulty design left over from our four-footed days. Although it's angled further back in women, it still intrudes into the birth canal and sometimes has to be broken to get the baby out.
As a person who broke his "non-existent tailbone" falling out a swing at age eight, let me break this to you gently. You are a lying fuckhead with no knowledge of biology or anatomy what-so-ever, dumbass. Thank you.
lloydy89 has no knowledge of the scientific method, apparently. If you jump to a conclusion, how do you explain what you did in the article for a medical journal? How will the peer-reviewing people copy your work? How do you determine the falsifiability of a conclusion-jumping?
You don't need to be a "scientest" to find the tail-bone. It's right there; at the bottom end of the spine, and, as we don't use it to wag a tail, it's clearly "vestigalent".
“you have a good point, scientists always jump to a conclusion.”
I can see why you think so. Scientists don’t publish their questions unless they think they’ve found the answer. So YOU always see a conclusion. And YOU never read/understand/comprehend the steps they took to get from the question to the conclusion, so to YOU, it’s a leap.
“For example, scientests find we have a "tailbone" which is vestigalent... wrong”
Feel free to prove that you understand the process they went through to decide it’s vestigial, and then show where you find it to be wrong. Oh, and show that you have the slightest idea what ‘vestigial’ means. I’m guessing you would fail a pretty basic biology test, here.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
