About This Quote

The word no longer belonged to Man because they believed it did not. Man saw the gods alone as Creators and forgot that there had ever been any other way. This quote illustrates that men were blind to the Creator who had created them, and so they forgot His ways. The idea of the book of Genesis is that God created man in His own image, but men were so self-absorbed, they only saw the god in themselves, forgetting there was even another possibility. This idea is further elaborated with this quote, where men were so focused on themselves that they forgot there was anything outside themselves.
