Hi, I am a noob at magic and I am curious if you can use Aura Finesse to attach an Aura from your hand. Thanks for the help.

No Aura Finesse only works on auras that you control on the battlefield.
for it to be able to attach auras from your hand it would have to be worded something like this i believe:
"Attach target aura card you own to target creature."
note: you only control cards (spells and permanents) when they are on the battlefield or on the stack. otherwise you just own them.

no you only control a card if it is on your side of the field. so if its in your hand, your graveyard, or exiled you dont control it.

control is the keyword here 108.4. A card doesn't have a controller unless that card represents a permanent or spell; in those cases, its controller is determined by the rules for permanents or spells. See rules 110.2 and 111.2.
you only have control over an enchantment while it is a permanent and it is only a permanent after it has resolved and is on the battle field.
omg if you could use a one mana instant to attach Volition Reins to your opponents first land and be at three mana second turn while they are at none, or first turn attach Eldrazi Conscription to something like Ornithopter or Memnite AT INSTANT SPEED...
everyone would do it.

No. Not from your hand. The card states that you have to control the Aura that you are targeting, which means that you have to have it in play in the battlefield.
The card would be A M A Z I N G if you could attach it directly to a creature from your hand AND draw a card!
