In theology, the ancient Greek scholar, Xenophanes of Colophon, satirized traditional anthropomorphism, remarking that each race represented its gods in its own image. He concluded that, if horses could draw, they would draw their gods looking like horses. We have to imagine using our minds, but our imagination is limited by our experience.
