[QUOTE="Chesterton, post: 77636867, member: 225709"] I don't know, but the ability of humans to make representative art is one of many things that drew me to Christianity. In Genesis we read that God made man "in his image", and lo and behold we find that man is the only animal that does the same. Art is the signature of man. [HEADING=2][INDENT][SIZE=4][I]“It is the simple truth that man does differ from the brutes in kind and not in degree; and the proof of it is here; that it sounds like a truism to say that the most primitive man drew a picture of a monkey and that it sounds like a joke to say that the most intelligent monkey drew a picture of a man. Something of division and disproportion has appeared; and it is unique. Art is the signature of man.”[/I] - G. K. Chesterton[/SIZE][/INDENT][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
