Ok, "homo mensura" does mean, "mean is the measure." It was first used by Protagoras. Homo mensura is frequently used in arguments reflecting the writings of Paley, Guanilo, Dostoevsky, Anselm, and Holbach--as these are most often used in collegiate textbooks.
Subjects relevant to this, though loose and vague condition, are the problem of evil, the existence of God, the existence of free will, the appearance of imperfection, the possibility of perfection, and the perception of self.

It is typically, and as far as I can tell, correctly, not attributed to any biblical argument, but materialist philosophy and elementalism.
