I'm often stumped myself at how amazingly bold some creationists can be with their arguments. It seems no matter how many blunt facts you have a creationist will always fall back on the "Miracle Clause" and call it a day, however one question that always seems to get under their skin is simply "Why do men have nipples?". Don't get me wrong, I know officially why men have nipples. Human embryos create breast tissue before a gender is even chosen, it's somewhat of an evolutionary efficiency. You could say it's a little bit like those square space fillers in the dashboard of your base model car where all the cool stuff would be if it were an LX model.
The problem I have is that if God in his/her infinite wisdom and omni-potency really designed us, then why oh why did he give men nipples? They serve no purpose to men whatsoever if anything they are a weak spot (you know what I'm speaking of if you've ever been "purple nurpled")
Also included in the list of useless human appendages are wisdom teeth and the appendix, as well as countless vestigial appendages in the animal kingdom that stand out (winged turkeys, snakes with nubs where legs have evolved away, etc.), but for some reason male nipples seem to throw any Creationist off his or her game and get right too the "God has his reasons don't question him" type clause.
I encourage comments but please be prepared with a little more than just miracles as the base of your argument.
