(Luke 16:8) His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.

This roughly means that in something people are more clever than angels. In what? How?

Children of light in the above Bible quote means the revelations which we receive from outer space radio waves (i.e. revelations from God), and thoughts based on these revelations.

These revelations are certainly more clever than what we can reason out by our own minds.

Or, in a greater extent, children of light may mean angels, which are much more clever than people.

However there is a thing where people are more clever than children of light:

(Lk. 16:8, Green's Literal Translation) And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, because he acted prudently. For the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of light themselves are in their generation.

People (children of this world) are more clever in their generation that is God has given people DNA molecules with programs for specific human deals which are even more clever than angels' ways to do such deals. I suppose that in human DNA there is some very clever algebra even higher than angels' mind.

For example, even an angel is not enough clever so to build a robot as complex as human body. But people indeed (in their generation) do this by bringing forth children. That is people as very clever in their generation.

I think that in the future God will unravel the hidden power of algebra in human DNA from unconscious to the conscious that people will become actually more clever than angels, because of the following Bible quote:

Letter to Hebrew, chapter 2
5 For he didn't subject the world to come, whereof we speak, to angels. 6 But one has somewhere testified, saying,
What is man, that you think of him?
Or the son of man, that you care for him?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels;
You crowned him with glory and honor.
8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.
For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don't see all things subjected to him, yet. 9 But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone. 10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying,
I will declare your name to my brothers.
In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.

And one more biblical quote:

Gospel of John, chapter 12
35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn't overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn't know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light. Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
