Quote by C.S. Lewis

This act [creation], as it is for God, must always remain totally inconceivable to man. For we--even our poets and musicians and inventors--never, in the ultimate sense make. We only build. We always have materials to build from. All we can know about the act of creation must be derived from what we can gather about the relation of the creatures to their Creator


This act [creation], as it is for God, must always remain to

Summary

This quote suggests that the act of creation, as God accomplishes it, is beyond human comprehension. While humans can create and build using existing materials, the quote implies that true creation, in its ultimate sense, is something that only God can achieve. Even the most imaginative and inventive individuals, such as artists, musicians, and inventors, can only work with what already exists. Therefore, our understanding of creation is limited to observing the relationship between the created and the Creator.
