Earnest Holmes was a "Religious Scientist". I mention this because I found the following quote online:

"We are the forerunners of a new race of people; we are the arbiters of the fate of unborn generations; we are the custodians of the chalice of truth."


Are any red flags coming up from anyone?


>.> This could really pull the Bible into Halo, consideing the flood, ark, etc.

Right, but three main subjects in the quote also double as a race of people, and two major characters in Halo; the Forerunners, the Arbiter, and the prophet of Truth.

There has to be some sort of significance, and this quote supports the "Humans are Forerunners" theory circling around.

We are the forerunners- humans/humanoids are forerunners
We are the arbiters- our past actions and current actions will affect the future (halo ring activation?)
We are the chalice of Truth- Truth is using the forerunners and the covenent religion for personal power (He acts like a dictator after Regret and Mercy die, right?)

Or Maybe it could mean that The Covenent and Humans are both spawned from Remnants of the Forerunners?
