Let me just reminds folks that I had nothing to do with the beautiful sky and green grass. ![C2AE987B-3265-493D-A6EE-1274CBF6B324.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQAQkcuWVVzBxBQeoWeYxraJoAkAcrteQXS9jKcVq5LS8/C2AE987B-3265-493D-A6EE-1274CBF6B324.jpeg) Switch to the city, and we fool ourselves into thinking this was us, and nothing else. We created this, so how can there be a creator. ![A4E902F8-56AC-4CAE-AAFC-6E85BED33F87.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQTjgDgr475tSXvHsfo65PkJL8M3mWeyoSTU5W2xJwmpP/A4E902F8-56AC-4CAE-AAFC-6E85BED33F87.jpeg) I will admit, the human imagination is a marvel, but perhaps we are merely imitating. We are given our 5 senses (perhaps even a 6th). We didn’t design our brains, and we only copy that which preceded us. Science is constantly in a state of discovery. We say it is evolving, but in reality it’s just finding out intelligence that was already there. But what do we really discover? We are only looking at things that existed before, and that will exist after. We copy molecular structures and chemicals and use them to “create” our own things. We often compliment artists who merely copy what they see. Their talent pre-existed and congealed into a marvelous specimen that could utilize the gift of art. Imitation is a form of flattery. We can create as many artificial roofs as we like, but the material and imagination used to create, was always there before we came around. ![FA053EDB-9B06-48DC-A36C-5436B8A1857D.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmamEt2bBezS611JUi15eEwWG8xm1jLRFuaMqsRZmJYvj7/FA053EDB-9B06-48DC-A36C-5436B8A1857D.jpeg) All shots taken from iPhone BB613
