If god made Adam, why did he give him nipples?
The creationist counter-question would be, "What's the evolutionary advantage of male nipples?"
Clearly, God was planning ahead; He knew that Adam and Eve would sin and thus invent death; they would have to be able to procreate and Eve would need nipples; since Eve was made out of Adam, he needed nipple genes.

I'm sure you have complicated answer.
Well, I used semi-colons instead of periods to make it look more complicated (also to even the wear on my keyboard and to make Bible-lovers more comfortable).

But the "planning ahead" theory doesn't account for why God had to try Adam with every other creature of his creation before figuring out that Adam preferred humans. God isn't portrayed as a very good planner in that story.
God, in His omniscience, knew that the relationships with the other animals wouldn't work out. Adam had to figure it out the hard way.
