Interesting. God as muse? God as functional art? God as political action? Perhaps Religion, re-linking, is an apt descriptor as every example is of what man creates to provoke our souls to consider the divine - however - it is usually channeled in the opposite direction in that we marvel at the work and possibilities of what man can accomplish with the divine as muse. Our creative principle is innate and evidence that our anima is fueled by the breath of God blown into our mouths by way of his divine kiss.
And while we rearrange the material play-ground God has given us, extending our minds into reality, none of the forms listed (while admirable and speaking to our divine inheritance) provoke my heart to pour myself out. The greatest symphony, while stunning, cannot heal my dearest relationships. The grand cathedrals cannot give me hope in the darkest night. For all the myriad re-arrangements of nature man can produce, God has accomplished beyond measure in the temple he made without hands. And even though not visibly present, its effect transcends space and time to touch my heart, kissing me again with lips dripping with grace and mercy.
