Human Hands, Evidence of God’s Existence?

I recently listened to an Evangelical apologist revel in the wondrous “creation” of the human hand; a sure sign to him of intelligent design. He went on to list all the wonderful things we can do with our God-created hands.

I laughed and said, “you forgot masturbation.”

The next time you are masturbating — yes, even you Evangelicals, I know you do it — just remember, you are worshipping God’s design and creation of your hand — assuming you are a one-hand masturbator — penis, clitoris, or both if you are ambidextrous — every time you ring the Devil’s doorbell or go solo.

Praise the Lord for perfectly fitting hands (and fingers). By all means, “intelligently” use them. 🙂

    This post gave me a good guffaw. The hand argument sounds very much like Ray Comfort. Listening to him is embarrassing to be honest. The five digit human hand owes its existence to the first tetrapods that existed approximately 360 m.y.a. But this anatomical pattern was already in fish even before the first land animals.
    Sometimes I have wondered why five? As a mechanic sometimes I wish for more fingers, and even more arms. It would make my life a lot easier.

      Son #3 is a certified mechanic. He definitely wishes he had more fingers and arms. 🙂 He watched me back in the day, but I worked on vehicles that were much easier to work on; back in the points, condenser days, you know when you could sit on the fender well and work. 🙂

    Are kidney stones evidence of God’s existence?
    Because only a sadistic monster like Yahweh would think of shoving a minature spiky asteroid down one’s urethra…

      During 2020, AFTER the lockdowns, my son had a solar system of kidney stones. I mean he had gobs, Kuiper belt style, and was in hospitals from Bryan to Toledo, ER, with one overnight stay for sepsis!! Coincidentally, my son is an atheist.
