Well, is the universe a painting?

1st, there is not one instance in the book of genesis that claims an "apple" fell from any tree. It merely said "fruit". Matter of fact, the word "apple" isnt even in the book of genesis ever.

2nd, the whole creation even is split in two. there are two events described with two different sets of details. All the races did not come from Adam and Eve, despite popular Christian belief. All the primary races were created in the first chapter. Emphasis was put on the Adamite bloodline because that was bloodline that would ultimately remain pure all the way from Adam to Abraham to David to Jesus Christ.

You're no longer going to be allowed to post on here if you keep plagiarizing other people on the internet coryallen2, I'm serious.

all lies! il n'y a pas de hors-texte. a painting means nothing without its context, of course it needs an artist. however, separating the artist from the art is self-delusional. this is what 'god is dead' means. when god dies life is reborn.

That can also depend on your definition of art.

Ah, it is impossible to define art without someone to gaze upon it, it has nothing to do with an artist. Art can be found in nature and in the twisted masqerades in our urban areas.

but if a person looks at something in the world and says "that is beautiful," that makes them an artist.

all an artist does is extract a piece of reality from its context.

Would that include more ridiculous or abstract thought structured upon feeling conveyed by the work or sight itself?
