On the ceiling of the Sistine chapel, in Vatican city, you'll see one of the most recognizable paintings of the western canon: The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo. But what exactly is the creation of Adam? Is it simply the moment Adam was created, or could it mean more than that?

An another way to look at it is to notice how Adam (representing all of mankind) barely reaches out to God, and leans on to the earth. Meanwhile God reaches out fully to reach Adam, because God loves us and wants to be with us but as humans with a sinful nature, we barely make an effort to reach for God and rather cling on to earthly things.

yeah, well maybe he should not have dumped all this anxiety and pain and loss on us. Maybe we need a little more tangible help if we gonna believe all this crazy shit. And Idk what book you reading, but Old Testament God, his love is TOUGH love at best. At worst, he's a drunk child abuser that just lost his job and gonna flood us. JESUS loves us. God loves His message. But you're right, Adam is just too school for cool man. That dude smoked something

What a unique take. I’d never considered it before, but you almost have me convinced now. I almost feel like the relaxed state of Adam with the blank stare into nothingness, vs and the dynamic depiction of God, represents Adam in thought about why he is here on this earth. Reaching for the stars, contemplating what it means to live. To that note it brings life as to why their fingers are not making contact. Adam is reaching for something he can not physically touch, but God (something only Adam can see in his mind) is a contemplative thought reaching out towards Adam.

@@eaterbattery I believe an art piece’s subjective interpretation can exist only if the author deems the work itself subjective. If he doesn’t then any interpretations oftentimes hold much less substance than the original message as one can only hope to understand what’s inside someone else’s head, the only clues being an author’s biography and background. If I take, say Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom of Speech” and say “Well, I see this as a poorly-clad worker standing up to the oppression of the well-dressed bourgeoisie as he’s the one who gets to speak over them”, that interpretation would sort of work, yet ludicrously disregard the original idea that everyone deserves equal freedom of speech; the social standing of men depicted was picked out by Rockwell for a whole another set of ideas, certainly not socialistic or revolutionary ones. How can one express his own ideas in a world where everyone interprets them in their own selfish, often self-serving ways?

The shape of the drapery resembling a brain could also be a representation of God as the mind which operates creation. This would also have interesting implications since it looks like God the father is spilling out of the drapery with all the other figures as if the representation of God is not really what God is, just how God chooses to represent himself to Adam.

That heaven and hell were 2 different states of mind irregardless of your situation you could live your life in either great ecstacy or great despair depending on the way you perceived the world.

Masterful video. I think many people take the idea of Gods being man's creation as degrading or even blasphamous, but when you look at the issue as humans creating ideas that could unite them, inspire them, teach them, and lead them better than they could themselves than it is beautiful. Gods being our creation doesn't make it degrading just as Human rights, Laws against slavery, or Ideals of freedom being our creation doesn't make it degrading. You can believe in something you created.

You know, this comment blew my mind. When you actually think about it, what if first man, or like early man created a supernatural force to believe in so he could have faith in all that is happening in the world. Maybe they needed strength, or to feel they were part of something. I mean, every religion does that. Even the pagans, believe in the idea of the universe or nature, maybe they just needed that super powerful force to believe in. Plus the greeks also have kaos I mean. Wow.

@@paulkihiu4743 You are actually on point - common myths and ideas are a social cohession, a uniting force of common values that can hold together massive societies. Religions and governments are reflections of our common traditions and values made manifest in a form of scripture, law, or just common decency. Sometimes we hold onto traditions for far too long and that's when an outdated law or a religious dogma may start to become too restrictive - our values change with time and conditions after all. I gained this amazing insight from the book *Sapies: Brief History of Humankind* by *Yuval Noah Harari* - it reads like a novel and packs more knowledge than a college degree.

Fantastic. Loved this one. There is an artwork by Damien Hirst that explores the an uncannily inverted concept of this painting by Michaelangelo entitled 'The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living'. Regardless of how you interpret it, who doesn't love a mystery at the end of a day? Perhaps even the notion of God (or the workings of our own mind) being elusive, fickle or slightly beyond our reach is also what's just as enduring about this. Staring up at the roof evokes awe and wonder, much like our ancestors gazing up at the sky wondering. Dreaming. Imagining.

in my subjective opinion i think the painting represents humanity and the relationship they have with god, that why their fingers aren't touching. god is reaching out arm fully extended trying to reach and touch Adam, but Adam's hand is relaxed and unextend, all Adam has to do is to put his finger up and he has touch god but in the painting he's choosing not to do so, not only to me does it represent creation but also free will. again it's my opinion Michelangelo if he was still around would probably debunk what I said, but he's not around it's up to use to decided what things mean to us.

I, like some others here, think the second interpretation leaves even more room for interpretation with the idea that both were created as a projection of Michelangelo. I think that’s kind of like the Gnostic idea of a divine spark being in each of us. Kind of a mirror of Merkabah mysticism, and how God’s throne lies at the end of a labyrinth within our own psyche. Maybe that lends credence to both interpretations being correct at some level. Creations, yet at some level, manifestations of God. God is, after all, described as transcendent AND eminent. Maybe we each experience that little God voice in our heads a bit differently. Maybe that’s why faith is a personal journey🙂

This is why it’s important that the discussion surrounding the interpretation of art must move beyond merely the artist’s intent and into what the art tells us about the artist, about its origins, about the world, about ourselves. We begin by asking what the creator means with their creation and proceed to wonder what the creation say about the creator. And that encompasses the interpreter as well. A perfect work of art to illustrate this.

There are so many Christians in these comments being very narrow-minded about the second interpretation, as if the very idea and thought exercise is harmful in some way. It's refreshing to see someone who is secure enough in their faith to explore the idea. I agree with you, both interpretations can be true at the same time, a kind of symbiotic relationship between God and humanity. The point of presenting two different readings isn't to disprove one or the other, but rather to show that each view can reveal different ideas.

Though in Christian theology God doesn't have gender nor a skin color when talking about the Father I found your idea interesting about what you said. Though Adam probably would've been a tanned person that God in a more "accurate" work would be tanned also since they are in the middle east where the people lived back then or Africa rather somewhat.

As a devout Christian/Catholic, Michelangelo probably wouldn't flip the role of the creator and created, but it's an interesting twist. God the Father, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, is a pure spirit, without a physical body. So the standard Christian understanding of humans, being "made in the image of God" is chiefly in human's soul/spirit, not so much the physicality like shape, size or color. God endowed human beings above all other animals with rational eternal souls, similar to His own. The two most important powers of this "spiritual/soul image" that humans get from God is the will and the intellect. Free will to choose love and intellect to know. A human being who know and love God, a human being who know and love his neighbors, fulfill the very purpose of which he was created for. The Judeo-Christian anthropology transcends race, genders, social-economic status of human beings. It gives humans inherent dignity, value and rights simply because he/she is God's most beloved creations, carrying God's very soul. This world view is beautiful and good for human flourishing.

Wow I’ve never thought of this painting as Adam creating “God” but now it makes so much sense. With the idea of God being in the brain and almost a thought of Adam, I’m interpreting this picture as Adam reaching for a perfect ideal version of himself, his highest self, and that is the idea of God. It’s above him, just out of reach, and you can tell Adam doesn’t have full faith in himself, which is why he’s lazily reaching out. But God has full faith in him, which is why He’s reaching out so confidently and erect. I think it’s perfectly fitting of what we as humans deal with when we’re trying to become better people and a better version of ourselves. All the doubt that we deal with chasing our “highest” aspirations. Amazing! This channel is amazing!Just earned a new subscriber! Thank you!

Hi, when you talked about that 2nd modern idea of comprehension of "THe creation of Adam" I got an illumination. AND THIS 2ND IDEA SEEMS TOTALLY CORRECT to me. As a non christian man (in my opinion) this could be totally possible because in the religion is said that God created us, but as WE created the religion, soWE CREATED GOD TO OUR IMAGE as you indirectly said. Man I love your videos and your ideas, keep working as good as you are doing.

Amazing. I have always kept a distance from this painting because of my beliefs. I thought that nobody would interpret it as I did just because of the symbolism of the piece (yes, I'm that egocentric, lol). But today I decided to look it up. To me, the meaning of the painting has always been the latter. How else could we explain the strong connection to the thought that God is only in our minds? Those angels surrounding him could be those pushing religion as an agenda, in very simple terms. It's truely comforting when I find my observations to be on the right path. I think I'm going to like this channel.

As a catholic I'll have to disagree with this interpratation hahaha Though the interpratation of a man creating a painting which represents the creation of himself, created by God, brings my attention. Once I heard a thought of Tolkien, I don't remember how it exactly went, but was in the lines of: if we were created by a creator God, by his own image, then we would be creators as well, in the sense of creating art. And being an aspiring artist this motivates me so much, knowing that making art is an aspect of Our Lord we all carry.

This essay reminds me a lot of my favourite part of Dan Simmons' Hyperion, in which he reinterprets the myth of Abraham as Abraham testing God as much as the other way around. İt made a huge impression on me when I first read it.* *Spoiler alert but it goes like this: Abraham fully commits to killing his son because if God intervenes then He is a God of love and therefore worthy of Abraham's affection. İf God doesn't intervene then He isn't a God of love and thus is undeserving of worship.

I always thought that it was Adam, not God, who looked more comfortable in the painting. God, to me, is the one struggling to reach Adam, almost scaping from the creatures around him, and extending his finger, similar to the gesture of a newborn baby who reaches to the warm of their parents, to touch the slightly open hand of Adam, which appears more dominant. It´s also Adam´s hand position the element that strikes to me the most in this analysis, since although God is indeed a little bit more elevated in the painting, it is Adam´s hand, in contrast to his position, the one slightly upwards, dominanting God´s hand. But hey, I agree that this is a much more modern take on the painting, but I still appreciate the new perspective. Thanks!

So, the red bubble is a brain on one hand, implicating, that Adam imagined a God, and on the other hand, also a womb, implicating, that through Adam's imagination of God, God was created.

It may come as a weak point of view, but I think it's possible he intended both interpretations. Even though the Renaissance had a strong Catholic presence, they still had a Roman (and therefore Greek) influence. Religious syncretism, especially in those days was something that was surely discusses at length. When the wine was flowing and Michelangelo and his friends were discussing art, poetry, philosophy and more, it's easy to see him coming to the conclusion that religion may be a creation of man. Does that mean it's blasphemy? Of course not. If an omnipotent God exists, there's no way he would be offended by mortal musings. Does that mean Michelangelo was a secret atheist? No. I'm sure he intended the painting to represent strongly both views. That's the tension that has kept this fresco as iconic as it is. It plays both sides. It seems unfair, and to the western mindset it surely is. But that's what makes it interesting.

I think another interesting way of looking at the 2 men in the painting would be not as separate people but rather as one person at different times/ages. The youthful Adam looks as though he is "limp" yet he has all the optimal physical attributes of a strong young man, meaning he has all the tools to be active, make use of his gifts and shape his future, yet for what reason? The reason may be the life he sees ahead of himself as now an older man but with a beautiful woman surrounded by many (possibly his own) children, which would fit into the traditional idea of the masculine dream. While he may feel tired to work towards this dream and can only reach out with seemingly low effort, his future is reaching for him in an active or, as used in this video, "dynamic" manner since it is what he(a man) is destined to become. To me this idea is plausible and at the least consistent in itself in addition to fitting into the idea of the masculine journey in both modern and ancient times. As a final note: What is there to "create" other than your very own future?

Back when I was young and "Total Recall" came out, I was frustrated with the end because, though it suggested that the whole story might have happened in the mind of the protagonist, it didn't state it explicitly. It was only when I was older (having forgotten the movie entirely for years) that I realized this ambiguity was entirely purposeful, and by far a better ending, and meaning, than one or the other decisive answer. The same is true for Inception, where the ambiguity of the ending is the point. I think here with the Chapel, it's interesting that God and Adam are situated dead center. The progress in theory begins on one end and centers on the creation of Adam, but looking at it differently, it becomes a mandala, where the creation of God progresses backward in time, radiating out from the center. This is the nature of thought and memory, which generates from the ever-shifting now, both forward as planning and conjecture, and backward as memory. Memory, if you will, is our time travel, showing us the shape of that which no longer exists, and perhaps never existed. Even from a non-religious point of view, the creation of God could also be seen as the creation of man. Arguably, humanity is defined by our quest to understand the universe and what makes it tick. This quest ultimately becomes cyclical, bringing us back to ourselves, like a mobius strip or a mandala, radiating out from the self into the past, the future, and throughout the universe as we perceive it, and then back to our own brain, which is all we have to understand any of it. It's all happening in there, after all. And yet, the most comforting notion in the world, at least to me, is that when my brain stops working and turns to worm food, the universe, or God, if you will, goes on. If there is such a thing as immortality, it exists in the entirely conjectural place where the self and the universe cross over, right there in the center of the image. The place where Humanity creates God, while at the same instant, God creates humanity. The mystery of existence, if there is such a thing, that both are happening at the same time, at all times. Or maybe I'm reading way to much into it.
