Non-religious Theism

RE: Non-religious Theism

Human beings also create without dictatorial conscious control. It isn't necessary to decide on a goal and then turn the creative process into merely a struggle to impose that goal on the materials at hand. That approach really doesn't make a for a very high art form. It isn't that human beings can't do that, it just isn't very artful or creative.


Yes, I agree with you, W, that if there is a creator being like the one I am positing there is, the creative process will not be limited to the confines of whatever our creative powers are capable of, be it either high or low art. Actually, I rather like the imagination of a creator being setting a universe into motion and having no idea of how it will all turn out.
