Isn't it weird that we have exactly five fingers and five toes on each hand and foot.

I mean why 5, why 5 on each limb, why not 4 or 6. Why do our feet also have 5. Whats with our body being so symmetrical.

Once most societies decided to use a base 10 counting system, evolutionarily it just made the most sense to have a corresponding number of digits to help with maths.
Six fingers would have us at Base 12, yet another argument against intelligent design.
That's.... not how evolution works
