In the beginning, there was light. Then there was man. And then—thankfully—there was coffee. Michelangelo’s iconic fresco “The Creation of Adam” has long symbolized the divine spark of life. But what if that spark wasn’t just spiritual… what if it was caffeinated? In this “reimagined” version of the masterpiece, Adam’s head is replaced with a classic glass coffeepot, filled to the brim with dark roast. His outstretched hand still reaches toward God, but now it’s not just for life—it’s for the energy to live it.
Because let’s be honest: if you’re going to create humanity, you’d better give it a way to stay awake. The Garden of Eden might have had fruit, but it was the coffee bean that truly kept Adam alert enough to name all the animals, dodge temptation, and survive Mondays.
So we say:
“When God created Adam, He needed a way to keep him awake. So He made coffee.” And thus, the sacred words were spoken: “Let there be coffee.”
God said, “Let there be coffee”
