Thumb Quotes

“The existence of God is a matter of feeling! It is not a formula of algebra that we sit down and prove! If we carefully observe the humans, animals, nature etc., then the existence of God can certainly be felt. Say, I mentioned in one of my Facebook posts that the 4 fingers of our hands are located side by side but one finger, that is, the thumb is much away from other fingers, structurally small and much different compared to other fingers. Now, it would be foolishness to say that the location of the thumb is such by coincidence. God knows it well that if all the fingers in the hands were of same size and structure, then it would be rather difficult or impossible for us to hold anything or do any work! So, He placed the thumb of our hands in the distance. It would be clearer if I explain it in a different way. As the parents become exceedingly cautious about the newly born baby, its spontaneous feeding, walking, talking etc. are carefully monitored by them, likewise, God has given the specific formation, shape and structure to the humans and all the animals by keeping their overall well-being, advantages and easiness in mind!”

“বৃদ্ধাঙ্গুল হয়তো দেখতে সাধারণ আঙুলের মত, আসলে এটি স্রষ্টার দেয়া এক বিস্ময়কর উপহার! যদি সব আঙুল দীর্ঘ ও সোজা হতো, তবে কোনও কাজ সহজে করা বা কিছু ধরা আমাদের জন্য অসম্ভব হতো! যদি বৃদ্ধাঙ্গুল না থাকতো, তাহলে মানব সভ্যতা অনেক পিছিয়ে পড়তো!”

“I had learned that a dexterous, opposable thumb stood among the hallmarks of human success. We had maintained, even exaggerated, this important flexibility of our primate forebears, while most mammals had sacrificed it in specializing their digits. Carnivores run, stab, and scratch. My cat may manipulate me psychologically, but he'll never type or play the piano.”
