do have functions just not the original
I'm a creationist and I disagree with the creationists who think vestigial organs have a purpose. I think they once had a purpose but lost it. I wish we creationists could all get on the same page but right now it isn't happening.
Unfortunately for you, those creationists are right, most vestigal organs do have a function, just not the function the organ had in other species. Some vestiges have no function that can be derived, ie legs of whales & snakes.

siple expanation?
because it is easily enough explained in terms of the disease and death that the Fall brought into the world.
Oh! Really, then please explain it.

Re: siple expanation?
It isn't prejudice against the Bible, but the fact that there is no evidence to back up the stories. The evidence goes against the stories.
If as you say the Fall was the cause, what did the spirochete that causes syphilis do before thew Fall?

Re: siple expanation?
Isn't it true that even facts in Homer's fiction have been used by archaeologists to find real places?
yes, except Homer's fiction is not pure fiction but mythology. It is a fictitious account of an alleged actual occurrence. There is some evidence that there was a war between the Greek city states of the Greek peninsula & the Greek city states of Anatolia. The Illiad is a mythological account of this, much in the way the Book of Genesis is mythological account of the Fertile crescent & Canaan.

Re: siple expanation?
stars are not 'life' they are balls of gasses... no real 'life' has been discovered in the known universe.
Not in a literal sense, but figuratively, a live star is one, such as our sun, that is producing light energy by means of nuclear fusion, whereas a dead star is one that has stopped. Without dead stars there are no available chemical elements to eventually form life, that is
minerals, water, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane etc.

Just because we have two arms and two legs does not mean we share a common ancestor
No but when added to other characteristics, particularly ones that only humans and other primates share which other mammals do not, such as the inability to break down uric acid, which all mammals, except the anthropoid apes, including humans, can.
