Influence On Popular Culture
The Creation of Adam is one of the most well-known and famous artworks of all time, and as such has been the subject of a number of references and parodies. Many of these parodies substitute different characters for God, Adam, or both. In the disaster film 2012, the entire College of Cardinals are seen praying silently under the ceiling. The ceiling then starts to crack, commencing at the point where God's and Adam's fingers nearly touch, dividing the two. The American comedy rock band Tenacious D parodied the painting on the front cover of their 2006 album The Pick of Destiny. The painting was also featured in the T.U.F.F. Puppy episode Watch Dog, where Dudley finds the chief when he travels back in time.

But the experiment of uniting free states and slaveholding states in one nation is, perhaps, a failure.... There probably is an “irrepressible conflict” between freedom and slavery. It may as well be admitted, and our new relations may as be formed with that as an admitted fact.”
