God in the Cave

"This sketch of the human story began in a cave; the cave which popular science associates with the cave-man and in which practical discovery has really found archaic drawings of animals. The second half of human history, which was like a new creation of the world, also begins in a cave. But in that second creation there was indeed something symbolical in the roots of the primeval rock or the horns of the prehistoric herd. God also was a Cave Man, and had also traced strange shapes of creatures, curiously colored upon the wall of the world; but the pictures that he made had come to life."- G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
