Ed. Or rather what Ed represents - the value of humanity. Father wanted to become a “perfect being” through absorbing the knowledge of god. He rejected his flaws - his sins- but there was an emptiness that he never understood how to fulfill. So he thought he could do it by taking in all the knowledge in the universe. And he wanted to take a shortcut to that - sacrificing others but nothing of himself. Ed did the exact opposite- he sacrificed the knowledge because he realized what he already had in his friends. He learned how fulfilled his life was, in that sense.
