Science and (Extreme) Hubris

We will have the power of gods. So says professor Michio Kaku quoted in this article from the Telegraph (U.K.) looking at the future of science. Let's see, now where have I heard that before? Hmm...Oh, the Tower of Babel for one, and didn't Nebuchadnezzar the great king of Babylon say that, just before going crazy for seven years? Oh, and Alexander the Great just before he died. Somehow I think science will fair no better than those before it that had the hubris to believe they could have the power of the God!
