Worshipping God was/is the cornerstone for the development of human creativity. This is why there is so much religious art and sculpture, music, ideas, stories, etc., even in the early days. The oldest art is about gods.
God cannot be seen with the sensory systems, like we can see trees and nature. God is not directly viewable, outside the person, on a regular basis, like nature. God is mostly viewed like an abstraction, through the mind's eye, using emotions and intuitions to connect the image to the body in a sensory feel; feel his presence.
Since God has no bounds, according to theory, this premise frees the imagination to attribute anything in the mind's eye. This is useful for thinking outside the box of material reality. If man was intended to fly he would have wings to the sensory thinker. The mind-eye is not limit to this, and can see wings on man. If he feels this in his heart, he becomes like a finger of God adding to creation. Now man is can fly beyond nature. This is good skill to teach children, who can then use it or not.
