Question

Why we can't control the course of nature?

Answer 1

If humanity survives amother million years and maintain same Technological advancement than Human can be so advanced they will be able to control , manipulate and even create universe. For that we have to reach Type Vl civilization. We will be basically godlike and immortal.Currently we are in Type 0.7 civilization even than we are able to control some aspect of nature. Like flying by defying gravity, living longer life than before, Able to change environment, Creating different species by genetic engineering, organ transplant, etc.In possible future we will be able to defy natural law. We will able travel faster than light, use teleportation, time travel, manipulate space etc

Answer 2

Controlling the nature is completely beyond the human capabilities. You may have heard this phrase “Earth is a spaceship”. This doesn’t mean we are the controllers of that ship. Actually we are just passengers of that ship and we have no authority or power to steer it.  

Just imaging if all the humans on the planet earth disappear suddenly! There will be some drastic consequences. After that, nature will rebuilt its empire on earth again. This means, nature has the ability to survive and thrive without humans. Now thing alternatively what if all the natural vegetation, animals and water on the plant suddenly disappears! Now there will be no choice other than human extinction. We don’t have the ability to survive even days or weeks.  

We humans evolved like every other living organism on the plant but with some special features. We enhanced everything around us for our convenience like discovering airplanes and ships, machineries and gadgets, space surveying tools that searching for aliens. We do everything possible but nature still got some extraordinary challenges. Some time utilizing every opportunity is a bad idea because sometimes those opportunities are the traps for a mass destruction. I didn’t mean that we are not evolved to control the nature but I mean controlling the nature is a bad idea.
