Okay, I gotta know. See, the commercial made me think about it & it's been buggin me. :roll: :oops:

Yeah, I could just google it, but then I couldn't interact with you guys about it. So...

Do identical twins have the same finger prints?

Well Poimen...you aroused my curiousity...and I did google it....the answer that I found suggests that fingerprints are not genetic....they are affected by a number of different factors...and therefore even identical twins do not have the same fingerprints....

What happened to God made everything unique and different? :wink: Every snowflake different, zebra stripes, leopard's spots, fingerprints, etc... :)
