Superman is one of my favorite superheroes that I grew up watching in cartoons and movies. Superman was originally created by Jerry Siegel in 1932, and it was made into a movie in 1978 by Richard Donner that starred the late great actor Christopher Reeves as the "Man of Steel." In this blog it is going to use the movie "Superman" to show mans limited mind, and compare it to God's mind.
Superman was created in 1932 by Jerry Siegel, and it is a fictional character that can fly, move at the speed of light, stop bullets, and do other things a reader would find a superhero doing. This is the type of character that most people, especially man would love to be to overcome the evil things of this world. Superman was created by a mind of a man, and throughout the years it transcended from a comic book to movies, and TV shows. The creators of Superman tried to portray the character of Superman as something magnificient with his powers that was used to bring truth and justice to mankind. With the creativity of man's mind developing Superman it still shows mankind limitation of making a savior of the world, and in Superman I his earthly father dyes of heartattack. Superman tells his earthly mother at his fathers funeral that he has all these powers, but they could not save his father from dying. The writers of the movie probably wrote that scene in there to show Superman's transition from smalltown farm boy Clark Kent into becoming Superman to save mankind, but that scene also showed Superman's limitation to where he cannot bring people back from the dead. A fictional story shows the writer or writers idea of their world, and Siegels world had a savior that provided truth and justice. It just could not save people from dying, and that show's mans limited mind.
God is the Creator of this universe that did provide a real savior that had powers to raise the dead, raise himself for dead, and can provide eternal life to those who accept Him as their personal savior. The way God provided us eternal life through His Son dying on the cross for us shows us that God is omnipotent, and omniscient. God's unlimited mind shows why man in the real world could not create a savior like God can, because with thier best ability they created Superman that did not have the powers to overcome death. What is the point of providing truth and justice when everyone will die sooner or later, and that is a question in a fictional world. That question makes living in a fictional world no different from the real world, so it shows man failing to provide a fictional world for people to live in. God is unlimited, and man without God will always be limited.
