Charles Sanders Peirce
The purpose of creation as it must appear to us in our highest approaches to an understanding of it . . . is God’s movement toward self-reproduction.

Richard DawkinsWhether we ever get to know them or not, there are very probably alien civilizations that are superhuman, to the point of being god-like in ways that exceed anything a theologian could possibly imagine. Their technical achievements would seem as supernatural to us as ours would seem to a Dark Age peasant transported to the twentyfirst century. Imagine his response to a laptop computer, a mobile telephone, a hydrogen bomb or a jumbo jet.
CyprianWhat man is, Christ was willing to be – so that man may also be what Christ is. Dwell in expectation of receiving what the Father has granted to the Son.
