The Old Adversary was Proteus' great-great-grandpappy: oh, how he LOVES to come up with chameleonesque variations on a theme. 2 of his favorite (albeit timeworn) tricks are "Hath-God-Said?" and "You-Shall-Be-As-Gods." The latest colorful version of YSBAG I've encountered is this little gem.
Is this gentleman serious? When we look at man's 6000 years of recorded history, do we genuinely see evidence of his becoming more godlike? And if not, then lending that idea credence would seem to require a quantum leap of faith.
