But really, the point is this.. Perhaps this skill, to build to create beyond what is in reach, beyond what we can do ourselves.. Perhaps this creation ability is what makes us gods image ?
To put it another way, perhaps because our ancestors became tool makers, rather than just tool users, they then developed the idea that the things around them that they themselves had not made were also the product of "intelligent design" and were made by other makers, and started to invent creator gods, makers of things, in their own image.

The heart of Man is not compound of lies,
but draws some wisdom from the only Wise,...
Sounds familiar. A theist who believes that our right to fill the world with Elves, Goblins and Dragons has "not decayed", and loves writing traditional style verse that rhymes and scans, and writes it well. Tolkein?
