Well, one question to ask, is: has there ever been any mindless, natural-force accident, which we know about (like a certain tree falling, or Hurricane Iniki, etc) that produced some functional feature?
Why mindless?
Astroids hitting against planets don't have a target in mind. They are completely random. I mentioned seizures. They are actually natural. It's what the body is supposed to do. Same as cancer. The problem isn't the illnesses but how it affects us and ages us etc. Yet, it's completely random.
I'm not a science buff but the universe doesn't just follow a map or a plan. Embrace uncertainty. Not mindless. A blessing. It helps you stay on your toes and not take things for granted by knowing "I will be in heaven soon" (however defined)
Hurricanes don't happen on a plan. There's no watch to say they will happen at this time. Weatherman try to predict it but like religion we put so much into the weatherman without smelling the air and testing for ourselves the weather (which I usually do since I go out jogging in the morning etc)
I mean, things happen at random. Kinda like droping a bunch of skittles down a slope and one skittle for some reason pops out of place. No one plans for these things. They just happen.
Nature included.
Buts that's really beside the point....You're an artist, right? You create beautiful masterpieces of art, right? Ok.
Now, somebody says that you didn't do that, that someone else did. In fact, these deniers of you say that nobody did it: that the supplies you used just 'came together by themselves.'
I understand your point. But people can actually see my copyright. They don't have to assume. God concept is very vague. Tell me. How do you see god in the making of the planet without knowing the bible? When you see art and you don't know the concept of creation, what more is there to appreciate what you see without needing an artist to appreciate it? Can you fine god and show god without scripture...something that's not vague?
Upset. There is a book on this and something I started implementing. I write poetry and sometimes paint. I also collage. I gathered so much art that I dont know what to do with it.
I started looking up minimalist (well, just simple) way to live since I'm by myself. I started throwing away art and giving my paintings to family. I love the art. The making up art. When I finish, I learn that things change. We don't have then forever.
So, if someone doesnt see an artist in my art, so what. It's not about me. It's about the art. Some people don't even know I wrote the poems I do (don't know isn't the same as deniers, mind you). I read a book about one native American in this mindset. He says he doesn't own anything. All things are owned by god. So no one needs to ask him permission to repeat his words.
Same thing. Why deniers and mindlessness????
I can see why you want an origin and planner but why say others are denial and mindless for not thinking as you? Art is set regardless if one person acknowledges the arts and another person does not.
Now, say your father was the artist...would you feel the need to defend Him?
We do[/QUOTE
Yes. It's usually how. Mindless? Deniers?
Just because you don't acknowledge my father as a writer doesn't change anything. Unless you were mean, then yes. If not, we can discuss the differences in views but I'd never put you down for your views just because you don't acknowledge my father.
That, I don't understand.
