Creation of Adam

The Creation of Adam is a section of Michelangelo's fresco Sistine Chapel ceiling painted circa 151. I love the accuracy of the anatomy for the time. It's perfect even without modern technology.  There are some theories that in the picture, "God" represents the brain. Also: Some of the lines in the neck of God aren't accurate to anatomy, and the lines might represent a brain stem. Michelangelo would have not have made this anatomical mistake, so maybe there is some meaning to to the "God is mind" theory.
