Origen of Alexandria in the 3rd century AD wrote: "...the sun, by one and the same power of its heat, melts wax indeed, but dries up and hardens mud not that its power operates one way upon mud, and in another way upon wax; but that the qualities of mud and wax are different, although according to nature they are one thing, both being from the earth" ( De Principiis , book 3, chapter 1 'On the Freedom of the Will', paragraph 11). Many other authors have used the same imagery, often without attribution.

Is modeling clay the same as polymer clay?

No. Modeling clay contains oil that keeps it soft and never hardens. Polymer clay does not have an oil, it hardens when exposed to heat. polymer clays are often called "oven-bake clay"because you can make stuffs such as pendants, brooch, earings and other accesories using polymer clay by baking them in the oven. YES, i said oven. PLEASE be safe and never try to put them in the microwave.


Who said the same sun that melts the ice also hardens the clay?

Matthew Henry (1662-1714) writes this allegory on his commentary on Romans 7:7-14a. He is making a comparison on the Law of God between it being "holy and righteous and good" (Romans 7:12) yet at the same time revealing mankind's depravity due to sin. The exact phrase is"The same sun that makes the garden of flowers more fragrant makes the dunghill more noisome; the same heat that softens wax hardens clay; and the same child was set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel. The way to prevent this mischief is to bow our souls to the commanding authority of the word and law of God, not striving against, but submitting to it."

Are bricks made from rock?

No, bricks are made out of clay which is fired at high temperatures in an oven or kiln. Clay itself was formed when rocks were weathered, releasing fine particles of minerals, usually silica (sand is made of silica and so is glass). When clay is wet these particles are separate but when it dries the particles stick together. Very high temperatures cause a chemical change in the minerals which cause them to harden (the same happens to sand which becomes liquid glass when heated and then hardens)
