The guy who said this: “I am the way, the truth, and the light.”

Amen to that!

Reminds me of a sci-fi short story I read once where scientists all over the universe were trying to figure out if entropy could be reversed. (I won't attempt to define it, except to say that in this context, entropy is the tendency of the universe to become more and more disorganized, thermodynamically over time.)

So, they linked more and more computers together, which over time - and long after mankind itself had died out - finally came up with the answer, the computer screen on one of the machines spitting out the line, "Let there be light."
