Why did god create humans with goosebumps?

Why did god create humans with erector pili muscles? Erector pili muscles serve to raise the hair follicles in animals, making them appear larger and more dangerous to predators and foes. They do nothing essential in human anatomy.

(The majority of) humans have long since shed such dense hair. Some people will say that having your hair stand on end makes you "feel" warmer, or makes you "feel" nervous, but those are completely (albeit trivial) subjective impressions. What about people with little or no body hair, or people who don't get those feelings. I see no intelligent design in this, but I do see the connection to wild animals.

What these muscles do in animals is clear - they are a function of survival. What they do in humans is (vestigially) remind us of where we came from.

Get your facts straight, man. R. L. Stine created Goosebumps.

But seriously...in the early days of Christianity when Christians thought harder about what their doctrinal claims actually meant, they tended not to be Creationists in the modern sense of the word. The Church Fathers realized that if God created everything that is, then God must also have "created" causation, meaning that God cannot be a cause in the way that anything else can be a cause. When we call God "creator," we cannot possibly mean the same thing that we mean when Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse.

Modern Creationism, on the other hand, confuses God's causation with natural causation. If God is only a cause in the same way as anything else is a cause, then God has to compete with other things that have good claim to have caused us. But if we call God a "cause" in a way that is at best only analogous to the way we call evolution a cause, then the two don't compete. My hunch is that "Creationism" actually misses the point of the Christian doctrine of creation.

All of this is merely conceptual clarification; I don't think I have somehow proved God's causation by setting it off in quotation marks.

Take an in depth anatomy class and yo will learn exactly what they do or dont do in great detail.

one might presume they are a remnant in humans evolution, much like the coccyx, or tail bone. and yes, it is supposedly for creating warmth, or insulating the warmth, rather.

Why did god create humans with goosebumps?

I know you're looking for Creationists to try to wiggle out of this obviously vestigial trait left over from our more primitive evolutionary predecessors, but I gotta say... I don't know how they're gunna do that.

It's vestigial. That's pretty much it.

good points... im not religious but i think it was because he/she/it likes to make people think, go crazy, laugh, and he/she/it has a sence of humor... if he/she/it does exist i think he/she/it is funny!

Why did god create humans with goosebumps?

I could say that it's a sign of evolution since we could have come from animals but yeah..most religious people don't believe in that theory so, honestly...it might be to help sense evil or danger. Much like animals can sense or "get a bad feeling", humans can do so as well. Most people ignore these signs due to the fact it's kind of drilled out of us but it's still there.

Goose bumps may very well be the only reliable way to tell good music from bad. Trust the little bumps.

P.S. I listen to 'Pandora Free Music' while a read these questions, check it out.

We didn't come from animals. They don't have souls. We have. They have eyes, noses, teeth, and a body. Same with us. This is a proof that all have only One Creator. One design from God. A proof that we all came from Him. He spoke and the world apppeared, but He molded us before we became humans.

Goosebumps are the result of a feeling or emotion. They make us shiver. Animals don't "goosebumps" to appear larger. They do it voluntarily. But we simply "goosebumps" involuntarily. Isn't that the wonder of our body?
