Noah's Ark Poster by artsgrie
Noah's Ark or Delusion of Grandeur by George Grie. Neosurrealism digital artwork & desktop wallpaper
Noah's ark is the boat built by the Biblical character Noah. At the command of God, according to the story, Noah was to build a boat that could accommodate his extended family, about 50,000 species of animals, and about one million species of insects. The craft had to be constructed to endure a divinely planned universal flood aimed at destroying every other person and animal on earth (except, I suppose, those animals whose habitat is liquid). Those not familiar with the story might wonder why God would destroy nearly all the descendants of all of the creatures he had created. The story is that God was displeased with all of his human creations, except for Noah and his family. Annihilating those one is displeased with has become a familiar tactic of the followers of this and many other gods. Despite the bad example God set for Noah's descendants--imagine a human parent drowning his or her children because they were "not righteous"--the story remains a favorite among children. God likes good people. He lets them ride on a boat with a bunch of friendly animals. He shows them a great rainbow after the storm. And they all live happily ever after. Even adults like the story, though they might see it as an allegory with some sort of spiritual message, such as God is all-powerful and we owe everything, even our very existence to the Creator. Furthermore, the Creator expects us to behave ourselves. But there are many who take the story literally.

Hi George,
This is a beautiful design with a rather chaotic description. I thought you might enjoy a movie I recommend to people, to open up and expand people's personal reality. I thought I would leave you a link addy here with the hopes that you watch it in it's entirety, and if you enjoy it, it may spark new creative ideas. http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com
