I would absolutely agree that Nature controls Man far more than the opposite. Consider wildfires; tornadoes; hurricanes; floods . . . Need I go on??

I'd say that the answer to the question is purely in the eye of the beholder. Man has been able to perfect foods with genetic modification, create grazing grounds for animals and generally control the life and death of different species. There are natural disasters but there have been since the beginning of time and will be long after we are dead. Without man controlling the environment we would be restricted to a small world population due to crops either growing unsuccessfully or being ravaged by animals and insects. To say that we are losing the battle in controlling nature is presumptuous and in my opinion a very negative way to look at what we have achieved. There have been mistakes made and problems which will occur due to them but surely this should make people think more of ways to secure the future safety of the world. The statement that you have made sounds more as though we should give up in trying due to past mistakes. To me we have been successful in creating the modern world and can a person really ask for much more than that?

Man absolutely cannot ultimately control nature. Nature causes man to make some of the decision he makes. When he thinks he's more powerful than nature and can dictate, then things get messed up. For example, I think New Orleans is lower than sea level, yet arrogantly men built a community there anyway. American Indians warned the white man not to live there. Fire, water, wind, and earth...we can only harness there power...we can't control them.

100% agree. Mother Nature is a much greater force than man will ever be. Didn't Katrina remind us of that? Except for President Bush, of course, who thinks he can control nature...
