I came across this last night and it moved me, so i thought I'd post it.


"Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire."

Nice quote.

I don't know where you read it from, but this concept has been extensively used in the Hyperion cycle. If I remember the thing, Teilhard claimed that ultimately men could become their own god.
If you haven't read it and you should give a go to Hyperion. It's very nice and quiet clever.
