If human evolution is a 'fact', i.e. we are who we are, and how we are, purely as a result of random chance and accident, (according to Richard Dawkins), then how can all human beings be attributed with unique fingerprints. The odds aginst this happening must be uncalculable.

Shulihee,

That question can be answered in a number of ways, but let me put it this way. We know that fingerprints are totally and completely unique. If the word unique is substituted in your question, you are asking "who makes uniqueness". People will probably differ on the answer, but if you can come up with an answer which defines the creator of uniqueness, you are probably on the track your teacher wants you to be on.

This is a question from an elementary school class assignment.
