(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Like Michelangelo's chunk of marble, oil and sand had no value to people - until people applied their imagination, effort, resources, aesthetic sensibility, engineering, craftsmanship, cooperation, and problem-solving skills to them. Then there was value.
People create value/wealth for themselves and their community. They take the resources they have available and apply their non-material knowledge and talent.
Author J.R.R. Tolkien says, ". . we make in our measure . . because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker." J. R. R. TOLKIEN, On Fairy-Stories
So we are able to create . . because we are created . . by our Creator . . to be like Him.
