Yes, apparently. That's why God put it at the hand. It's not a finger if it wasn't put at the hand.

(...or rather, the wisdom of a human putting words in God's mouth?)

Nu-uh, Tsukatu, God put the words into a human's mouth FIRST.
God had five fingers on The Simpsons in his appearance, so therefore, the thumb is God's way of reminding us that The Simpsons isn't good anymore. Follow?

I just want to point out that the thumb is my favorite hand part ever. I mean, almost 60% of all hand positions ever. If we had no thumbs, all we'd do is just point at each other instead of pretending to have a gun in our hands. We couldn't grab 90% of everyday things (and if we could, it'd be a hassle).
I don't care if my thumb isn't a finger or not, it's my BBF forever, man.

You should chop off you thumb if it causes you to commit evil.Techno wrote:I dunno, what does the Bible say?incluye wrote:I have a wart on my hand. Is that a finger too?Neil_Bryan wrote:Yes, apparently. That's why God put it at the hand. It's not a finger if it wasn't put at the hand.
It says the same about your hand, and all of your fingers are on your hand, so the Bible says that the thumb is a finger. It says the same about your eye, so your eye's a finger, too.

Most of the people I hear saying that the thumb is not a finger do so to claim they are holding up only four fingers when they are really holding up all five.

I was seriously expecting one-sided results. GOOGLE HAS SPOKEN. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THUMBS ARE -NOT- FINGERS.
