In this Image of Michaelangelos "Creation of Adam" in the sistine chapel in 1532 does this Masterpiece of art indicate we as humans were lazy and not trying at all? The Painting depicts God reaching out (Stretching even with his finger) to a lazy looking Adam who has his arm resting on his knee and barely straightening his finger like he almost doesn't care.

Michaelangelo depicts him as a lazy slob with no cares for anyone including the Lord. Is this a subtle message from Michaelangelo saying we as humans are not worthy or not trying?

If The Lord were reaching out to me as depicted in the painting i would have stretched until bones broke and muscles popped.

Off topic: Why have the Gorgeous MASTERPIECES of art stopped hundreds of years ago? Can you name a single artist that has created such a Masterpiece of work in the last 200 years?

It is the "Creation of Adam," not the "Hey Adam, do you wanna be created?  Okay then, stretch your finger at me so I can create you."

It's my impression that Allah pointed and created Adam in that very instant, in His own image.  It's not Adam's fault that's the posture in which he found himself once created.  

Anyway, it's just the artists perception, your's might differ.  Enjoy the art and the skill represented.  Take pleasure in the contemplation of the "meaning" of the art, but don't put too much emphasis on the message the artist was attempting to convey.  After all, Michelangelo was just a man.  A man with talent and skill, yes, but just a man none the less.

P.S.  If I had the opportunity to rename this masterpiece I would call it "Hey Adam, pull my finger."
