Senator Sherwood : Are you suggestion that the Almighty is taking matters into his own hands?

And we've consistently proven ourselves incapable of handling that power. 80 years ago, who could have predicted nuclear proliferation and then there it was. And now we've got genetic power, so how long is it going to take to spread around the globe and what's going to be done with it? It ain't going to stop with the de-extinction of the dinosaurs.

Ian Malcolm : I'm talking about man-made cataclysmic change.
Senator Sherwood : What kinda of change?
Ian Malcolm : Change is like death. You don't know what it looks like till you're standing at the gates.
