There is no life apart from God, there is only Death apart from God in Christ Jesus! Jeremiah 51: 15-19:

There is no life apart from God, there is only Death apart from God in Christ Jesus!
Jeremiah 51: 15-19:
“It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens. 16 When he utters his voice there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses. 17 Every man is stupid and without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false, and there is no breath in them. 18 They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish. 19 Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob, for he is the one who formed all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name."

Man can never make what God has made, Even though they delude themselves into thinking they can apart from God! There is no life to be made or can be made apart from God and the Life that God has already made and created. There is no life apart from God, there is only Death apart from God in Christ Jesus!

Man can never duplicate God's creation or remake themselves in their own image without impunity and receiving their just punishment and just do of God's wrath.
Man can never make what God has made, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God's mighty Hand! Psalm 139.

We may think we can replace what God has made with the work of our own hands, but our delusions have blinded our eyes, for God is irreplaceable and you can never replace the glory of God with images made by the hands of man to look like man and the created order. Romans 1:18-24.

First, we are already Created by God! Nobody is self made, nor did they carve themselves out of gold, silver or even the Rocks.
Second, All of Creation attests to the glory of Almighty God the Creator of the Uiniverse.
Comclusion, we are under the sin cursed imperfect nature that always pursues to live life apart from God our Creator, since the fall. We always seek to replace the Knowledge of God with the false images of the flesh made to look like images of man or the beasts of the field in homage and false ascribing to the worship of the created, rather than the worship of God who is forever Blessed!
Romans 1:18-23:
"18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,g in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things."
