We all desire equal treatment, but this should not imply that we are all in fact equal. It should be obvious that we are not.

considering you're in a debate, start thinking of what arguments your opponents will use:
1. Inequality is not a law of nature because while one animal/person can survive in a certain setting or environment and another can not, the other may be able to survive in another environment while the former cannot.
Its just a quick argument i came up with. Your redirect could be something that makes their argument seem ridiculous like:
There is really to two situations or envoronments exactly alike.
We can't survive underwater, but can a goldfish design a nuclear weapon?
Other arguments may expand the reach of what you might think you're going to talk about. You could say that two cubes put side by side are identical the thus, equal.
If they take the argument into the world of physics, you really have them. Two cubes may be side by side and seem identical, but a difference of a single atom means one of the cubes is inferior by a great deal of atomic energy.
Someone will probably mention identical twins.
Be sure to mention that they always have different fingerprints.
Just take the other side for a while and think up some arguments, then destroy them. That way when they come at you with an angle that youve foreseen you come back with something snappy and pre-prepared. And win, of course.

There is nothing wrong with having a fair advantage over someone else.
If two people are competing for a teaching job, and one is more intelligent than the other, and demonstrates this by answering questions better, that is a fair advantage. They are not equals. If the job is awarded to the less intelligent person, on other grounds such as appearance, then that is an unfair advantage. They are not equal, but he/she has benefited from the inequality, without, perhaps, knowing it.
When animals compete for food, the stronger will prevail, this is inequality in action in nature. It can seem cruel, but most animals are amoral, in order to survive.
The number of animals, including man, who would not use an advantage to survive is very small.
In fact, inequality is probably one of the driving forces of evolution. Being unequal and having a small advantage in survival, for any animal, from the smallest bacterium to the largest Blue Whale, gives you a better chance at having offspring. This advantage will be passed on to the next generation etc.
Hope this helps.

not a very legible question, which does not bode well for the debate- firstly define inequality. once done begin your argument. inequality in nature as a natural phenomenon?? i don't think so. inequality as a socio economic entity defined by people, teachers, professors, the rich, the poor, the world bank, fiscal and monetary policies, first world and third world, developed and developing etc etc. i think you will find these are not subject to the laws of nature in the way that thermodynamics, gravity, matter, anti matter, atoms, quarks and bauds or sub atomic particles are part and parcel of the intrinsic laws of nature- you confuse nature with humanity.
