something about "in His image"
because G ... er, The Designer cre ... uh, designed us in His ... i mean, its image. thus we can conclude that Go ... sorry again, that The Designer had nipples
(how cdesign proponentsists deduced the "in His its image" thing is left as an excercise for the reader)

If evolution was the answer, then humans would be subject to instinct like every other animal on the planet... but we are not.
humans objectively ARE subject to instinct. you shiver when cold, i'd wager
but, like all animals, humans can change *some* instinctive reactions or behaviors through a process called learning. thus, for example, the instinctive behavior of crying-when-hungry becomes the learned behavior asking-Mommy-for-a-snack
if your intent was to note that humans don't seem to have complex preprogrammed behaviors, like building a Bower-bird nest, then you're merely pointing out a different in quantity rather than quality

we see rule-based social behavior outside of primates, too. heck, wolves have "laws" that they must follow, or be rejected by the pack
