Re: denial?
AS for Coccyx, it is just the end of the vertebral column that supports the head at its beginning and it must end somewhere. Wherever it ends, evolutionists will be sure to call it a vestigial tail.
If that's the case, don't you find it just a bit odd that the very poorly developed (and often absent) extensor coccygis muscle in humans that attaches to the coccyx is functionally identical (and attached the same place in the same way) as the dorsal sacrococcygeal muscle in animals with tails? Which said animals use to raise their tails? I always thought that was a pretty good indicator the coccyx was a "vestigial" tail. But hey, what do I know?
