So all we need to do is pray for a few more meteorites to strike the earth, spreading their supply of Gold around so we're able to grow our money supply even more..

Either that, or generate some super volcanic activity that will spew those hidden quantities trapped in the earth's mantle, onto the top of the earth's crust..

The point being that economic and monetary growth is better served, while not perfect, by fulfilling the economic potential of humanity, not relying upon diverting economic resources to digging up PMs.

<<Meteorites delivered gold to Earth
bbc.co.uk



A burst of meteorite impacts around 3.9 billion years ago delivered precious metals to Earth >>

... is there some other sign we require as proof that gold is a gift of the gods?

Let's hope we don't get any meteor showers for awhile. I could knock the stuffing out of the POG. :)
