The First Sculptor And Artist

While human artworks depend on the use of, for the most part, the static natural resources of earth provided by Creation, God the Creator, the first sculptor and artist, works with matters that change biologically and chemically with the progression of time and with every disturbance affecting the natural and delicate equilibria of Mother Nature on land, in the air and in the sea.

The photographs below were taken by Mark Watkins and Corey Donohoe [1]:

"Mark Watkins, 36, was out fishing with his dad south of Perth when they spotted the alien-looking pink sphere.

"The pair originally thought it was a capsized boat, then maybe a fallen hot air balloon.

"But once they got closer they were surprised to see it was the swollen corpse of a dead whale." [2]

With documented reports and images such as these, how can anyone think that life on earth can be the result of a "big bang," [3] leading to a series of random occurrences giving rise to the first signs of life on planet earth [4], a speck of dust in the entire universe [5], followed by a Godless evolution of natural selection [6]?  How can the sun and the earth be so perfectly formed and aligned so as to provide all the sustenances necessary for all the species to claim their existences on this planet?  Science has no answer.

The insufficiencies of science to provide satisfactory explanations have not deterred man from continuing to rely on science to theorize on existences, such as the universe's, the earth's and his own, even though all those theories are flawed.  The more man sees, the less he knows.  Using whales as an example, man has seen and identified various different types [7], but when the photographs of a dead whale were published (see above), there must have been questions, such as, why did that whale die, when did it start swelling, why did the swelling stop short of bursting, how many dead whales become swollen until the skin is stretched to reveal a pink color [8], why is the stretched skin pink, why can it not be grey or any other color and why are dead pink-colored whales floating in the ocean not as common a sighting as beached whales, to which man has no answer.

Therefore, it would be reasonable to conclude that human knowledge remains primitive and human intellect continues to be partially blind, with man's sight restricted by what he is able to observe objectively, which does not extend beyond the limits of his past and his future, unless his Creator has permitted him to have a glimpse of his beginnings and his endings.  Even then, he remains confounded by the immensity and complexities of what lies in the realm of humanly undefinable time-space continuum and more so by the purposes and meanings behind all of it.

Perhaps man's life is not meant to be fully known, regardless of how many apples man continues to eat from all the trees of knowledge everywhere, and understood, but to be lived simply, guided by his instincts to love and be loved, as it was with Adam and Eve at the beginning, before they sinned. Perhaps man, having received his gift of Free Will, had developed the desire to go full circle under the Serpent's temptation, to experience what lies at the opposite end of the Garden of Eden [9], in order to verify for himself what he had been given was perfection.

Perfection is not a concept, but a reality.  This world is not perfect, but Heaven is, and so is Hell.  Heaven is a perfect place for those who love God; Hell is a perfect place for those who reject God.

Heaven, as was the Garden of Eden, is, in this blogger's imagination, a living and dynamic timeless and borderless sculpture of ineffable beauty that changes perpetually. Unlike the artworks of man, it is to not to be hung on a wall or placed on a pedestal and dwelled upon, but rather it is for one to enter into, to dwell in fulfillment, peace and happiness that God provides continuously with an abundance of love.

Hell is also an artistic creation with an unassuming but dreaded entrance into eternity with countless mutations of death and decay.  Those in it have to confront their own inescapable past and suffer torments beyond imagination, or, are deformed down to a complete void, with a total absence of hope in varying states of painful non-existence, to Satan's endless delight.

[9] God never created the flip side of the Garden of Eden.  It is in the making, by man himself, as he continues to fall deeper and deeper into sin, by being oblivious to God's existence, and living in a constant state of moral turpitude sanitized by self-righteous, secularist moral relativism.
