I appreciate your reply that something nature has created, no one can reproduce, but aren’t we as human beings, nature? Yet we reproduce and we try to be in the image of God, but what did God really look like?
All we can be are images of what we perceive God looked like, rather, we should be images of what God did and what we can do to better mankind. This isn’t about blasting away on the side of the mountain trying to reformat a shape to resemble the Old Man, it’s a new image to represent what the Old Man was and with today’s technology, make it something special, as special as the natural formed monument. Using the materials we have, all natural, would enhance the spirit of the old man and possibly,we could turn this into a National Monument, like the Grand Canyon or Moab…

I understand your point of veiw to this. I think the same thing Redhawk. But you don’t need to slam his idea in the dirt. His idea is trying to save the natural memory of the historical mountain. It’s falling apart and wont be here much longer. If we do nothing all we’ll have left are pictures in history books. I do think the CLEAR glass would be a bit much, darker glass might be better. It is not an attempt to rake in the money, it is an honest to goodness attempt to keep the memory of the wonderous natural phenominon alive. You people are being very narrow minded.
TO THE BELIEVERS THAT GOD DOES NOT WANT IT TO HAPPEN: If God did not want the land mark saved, then why would he have this man try to restore it?? ~

I think it’s a fantastic idea….imagine the different ways it will look at different times of the day during different kinds of skies – skies with clouds, without, with fog, during and after snowstorms, with the glow of a full moon shining upon it. All those facets of glass glinting in brilliant sunshine. Fantastic!
