Creation of the world
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
"This world ¨...] is very faulty and imperfect [...] and was only the first rude essay of some infant deity, who afterwards abandoned it, ashamed of his lame performance: it is the work only of some dependent, inferior deity; and is the object of derision to his superiors: it is the production of old age and dotage in some superannuated deity; and ever since his death, has run on at adventures, from the first impulse and active force which it received from him." --Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1779) by David Hume |
