Interesting. I've heard "men have nipples" as a defense of evolution before, in response to "God created us, how else can you explain the perfection of humanity?"
My former in-laws once informed me that since parrots can talk, "evilution" was a lie.
That was the extent of their arguement - talking+parrot = no evolution.
The disheartening part, is I still like them, and her father is a chemical engineer who's done some pretty interesting things. Proof that blind spots don't have a size limit.
By creationist logic, men having nipples is proof God exists and evolution is false. Of course, if men didn't have nipples, that'd prove God exists and evolution is false, too. They don't see any cognitive dissonance in this.
