We don’t have a common parlance word for those two bits of the palm in English. Do not say “heel” though, that is very wrong.

The medical term in English is “thenar” and “hypothenar”, but if you had just said “based on the palm" that would have been sufficient explanation for another speaker to get it.

You have encountered Gnostic thought (and related heresies!) The Gnostics believed that the God of the Christian Old Testament was actually Satan all along. It is an interesting rabbit hole to fall down into.

The 95 Thesen by Martin Luther sparked the Protestant Reformation. That’s an impact that cannot be understated.

They… are?

Oh wow, was für 'ne Überraschung. Ich könnte es wirklich nicht glauben. 😐

My guy. That was the precise thing most of our ancestors struggled their whole lives to get out of.
