Even technical people show creativity, although fools in business and education have tried to steer them away from it. When I first studied computer programming in the early seventies, the field was still fairly new and evolving. The degrees awarded for a major in what was then called data processing was usually an Associate or Bachelor of Arts in Data Processing. Arts, not science. But business folks didn't like that. They thought artistic types were too flighty, too unreliable, too inconsistent, so they worked with the colleges to develop the Computer Science degree which emphasized the scientific aspect of computer programming: the idea that no matter who solved a particular problem or wrote a particular program to do a specific task, the resulting code would be virtually identical. They have never been successful at this, but they keep trying. Meanwhile, the creative/artistic programmer (or Software Engineer as they are usually called now) is usually the one who ends up being the most valued on the team because he can solve the problems no one else can.

    The question though is: “why do we all have an urge to create?” Scientists and psychologists can come up with a lot of interesting theories on this, but there is really only one that makes any sense. We are creative, because we were created. It's that simple. We are the product of a creative impulse. Two of them actually because we Gnostics believe there were basically two creations: the creation of the worlds of spirit by God and the creation of the material worlds by the fallen angels or demiurge.  Since we were created, we naturally feel an urge to create and God wants us to be creative. In fact, it is God's plan that we be co-creators along with him, but we must first learn how to understand His Plan.
