Confrontation

"The tower of Babel" had said Father Max "Was God's punishment on men who tried to get too close to him". A silence followed. Everyone already knew what followed. This had been, after all, a conference on the dangers of this new technology. "What they are building, this new device for ´communication´, is a challenge to god. It will erase the punishment, by making Everyone able to communicate with everyone else". A murmur filled the audience. "And these scientists, these ´people of progress´, they blatantly declare that this invention will overcome all the limits of mankind. Even death. If this is not a new plan of the humans to become God, I don't know what it is". The crowd was restless "This is a new Babel," Screamed father max "and we have to stop it".
