"If we could experiment with the atmosphere
and literally play God,
it's very tempting to a scientist,"
- Richard Odingo - Kenyan earth scientist

in regards to the Royal Society meeting to discuss controlling the planets weather
"From the beginning men and women have been filled,
& this is as true today as ever, with a desire to 'be like God'.
Mankind has managed to accomplish so many things:
we can fly! We can see, hear & speak to one another from the farthest ends of the earth.
& yet the force of gravity which draws us down is powerful,
toward selfishness, falsehood & evil,
....abandon the pride of wanting to become God"
- Pope Benedict XVI - in his Palm Sunday speech
