Biomimetic Worldview For centuries, mankind has been intrigued by the wonders of the natural world. By God, people have been granted the luxury of observing vast sensations of the natural world such as landscapes, colors, and animals. However, these sensations were not meant to be solely regarded as art. Instead, God had intended for these marvels to serve as a model. A model that will function as a blueprint for mankind to follow.
