The term, "the night is young" means "in the early stages". It could also be interpreted to mean "full of possibilities" as the phrase is often used to infer that there is still more that can be done.
One interpretation of the line would be, "Humans are infantile, but God is all-powerful". Alternatively it could mean "Humans can do many things, but they don't/can't wield the powers of God".

I'm my opinion, it means that even though we humans don't feel the immediateness of our death..that is we tend perceive ourselves as immortal in a way.. for if we feared death every second we wouldn't feel like learning or building things.. or saving money for example.. and that indeed we have a long way to go, but we must also keep in mind that things take time to develop, or grow, and that we mustn't try to feel greedy in our doings in this world, and just enjoy living.

Because we are so young, we have a lot of growing to do before we become closer the being god-like. Then, maybe we will have more god-like powers.
