The creative efforts of people may be carried out for the wrong reason (i.e. to exalt and advance self not God) but the fruit of those efforts is Evidence of the image of God within us all nevertheless. For this reason we can (and should) fully appreciate the results of those efforts for what they are; evidence of the majesty wonder and creativity of God within each of us, his image bearers.
Our creative abilities show us something significant about both God and us. Something that can be legitimately appreciated and admired (even the ability to design and construct the Tower of Babel gives evidence of the image of God within us).
Nevertheless if these efforts are not carried out in an attempt to honor the one in whose image we are designed, they ultimately are all for naught i.e. they will have no eternal value.
We can and should celebrate humanities design and our ability to create but in doing so we must recognize the Creator (the giver of our abilities) and our utmost Designer is the ultimate reason for our celebration.
