why man can not control disasters?

man cant control natural disasters for many reasons. first of all humans dont know when such an event will occur. most of the time they realize only after the disaster starts. secondly they have no technology that can stop a coming tornado or tsunami or such disaster.

you can't,  that is Gods job.  just like you can't make the world or decide when to die or controll the weather.  they are all Gods job, if you worry about doing your job then He will do his.  You have enought to do so worry about what you should be doing and dont worry about everybody elses job do

Circumstances that are completely out of the realm of your control are uncontrollable.  Those over which you have no cause and can have no contribution whatsoever.\n\nFor example, it rains.  Rocks fall.  Now if the rock is on your property, and the rain has caused erosion, and this is something that can and should be known, then it becomes something (the falling rock and any damage that may ensue) become something over which you have control.  In other words you should have known or could have known the rock could fall because the rain has caused erosion.

My answer is ot supposed to completly argue on the subject, but it may yet give something to think about!!\n\nBecause when humans come up in an area without changing it, they settle in an armless way (if they notice a flooding risk, they adapt themselves to the area: egyptian with the Nile 3000 years ago for exemple).\nOn the other hand, when they show up and develop altering the area situation, such things as flooding that did not happen before may occur. Which would explain why most of the disaster happen in these cases.\n\nMy opinion is that humans should always try to adapt themselves to the situations instead of trying to adapt the situations to themselves (which tend to be more and more frequent unfortunatly).

Because in the past, superstitious people attirbuted virtually everything to God or gods.\nEarthquakes, floods, storms, etc were all the work of God or the gods.\nOf course, most people are more reasonable and know it is mostly just natural disasters.

It's popular to think that we should not depend on our government for help when there is a disaster. In fact, the federal government has probably the best resources for dealing with just such an event. The problem is in getting the bureaucratic mindset in gear for doing more than vegetating.

a natural disaster such as earthquakes are possible anywhere.  just some areas (along fault lines) are more prone to the effects.  For my money, i would be most worried about a large volcano that spews ash into the atmosphere and causes the earth's climate to dramatically change.  Not much you can do about that!

You can't control mother nature.\n\nIf it were possible, Katrina would not have existed

People were warned but I do think the city officials should have provided transportation and other means to help evacuate the city. Looks to me like when a disaster strikes or if we have another terrorist attack, it will be ever man for himself. You just can't depend on the government to save lives.

well it is impossible because you can't control what the future holds.  and there are different types of stress, not just negative stress.  stress can be a happy one, when i got married, it was stressful, one of the happiest days of my life, but still stress.  but when we are able to control our lives paths then "stress" will be avoidable because we can avoid bad situations.

Humans doesn't have the ability to destroy the atmosphere. We can only polute it. The only way to destroy the atmosphere is to blow up planet earth.

Anyone who thinks man can control the weather has no concept of the energy involved in a simple thunderstorm not to mention a tornado or hurricane. \n\nBut before you can control the weather, you need to be able to predict it. So when the weather forecasts become accurate, I'll start worrying about the government controlling.

Not all of us. I never wanted any of that. But even though this world is full of all that, I don't sit and blame God for any of it. Because man has lead man into his own destruction.

I think it's a bad bad idea. for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and though man likes to think he can control the action and predict the reaction, i shudder to think what nature could react with if the action is bad enough... That is one can of worms that would be better left alone....

i disagree ... technology may let a man feel that he's on top of the world! but he can't control everything-- technology can't control human relationships and most of all it can't control love.

We're not in heaven yet! =) We're still on earth, so yes, we still have environmental disasters which are called "natural" disasters. if we pray, there might be a miracle, but there will still be other disasters. But God promises us that He will be our shelter and comfort in times of trouble. \n\n"Do best for what is possible and let God for the impossible"\nif reducing cardom emissions and researching renewable energies and advanced agriculture reduce environmental  disasters then we should do it. We also pray to God. The two can go together. \n Look at our inventors. Most of them believe in God.
