You can prevent massive damage from mother nature, yes.
You can prevent harm done to you by mother nature, yes.
You can prevent buildings from being destroyed by mother nature, yes.

But you can not prevent from mother nature creating things like tornado's, hurricanes, title waves, etc. The day humanity can control nature is the day humanity decides to play God. Do I believe humanity can do it? Maybe, I guess it is possible. Do I think humanity will do it? No. Humanity will have destroyed itself by the time it we discover anything remotely close to manipulating nature.


What would controlling nature have to do with "playing god"? God doesn't control nature...You know that, right?


Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
