"We are as gods and might as well get good at it" (Whole Earth Catalog)
Yowza. It's a well-intentioned sentiment, repeating the point that with time humanity has unquestionably gained in the power and responsibility both to accomplish good or evil on a massive scale, but just...wow. Bald, provocative self-deification? Is that even necessary? Shouldn't we humbly recognize that our control of anything is at all times tenuous, we still can only manage to rearrange matter and energy, and "earthly authority" is solely deputized to us by God for achieving His aims?

Man is often blind to realize that his existence does not lie in autonomy, but rather contingency - on God himself. This is the foundation of a sturdy Christian Epistemological worldview.
