Here's an easy one---get a few rubber reflex hammers (they run about $3.50 at
medical supply stores) and get a nurse or doc in your circle to demonstrate
simple reflex arcs, like the "knee jerk". This is a big favorite with 10 year
old boys--they can't get enough of beating on each other with hammers!) You
could also feature Sir John Eccles, a Christian (or theist at least, I believe)
who was a student of Sherrington when he did his Nobel prize work on spinal
reflexes.

Another reason this might be a good demo...the invisible neural processes are
inferred from the visible effects.
