In the story, the mathematician Malcolm is the philosophical voice that questions the durability of the park and the accountability of the science used to re-create the dinosaurs.

Science claims it is seeking the truth. Malcolm claims that science is lying. Science is really seeking a way to control nature. Science is always trying to find a way to make nature predictable, and control her every move. As seen through many past experiences when mankind tries to control nature, she upsets us and has a kind of kick back. Unfortunately when nature proves to us that we are wrong to try and control it, it results sometimes in human casualties. The question that all scientists fail to is not whether or not they could but whether or not they should. This is not a good approach to have because most scientists fail to consider the consequences of their choices and their experiments, and how will it effect the well being of man. Even though they say to make an omelet you have to break a few eggshells but sometimes science use more than just a few eggs and this sometimes can spell disaster for mankind.

This falls into the category of the human system. The author's point is that the human system can be considered a simple system, but the slightest change or disorder in a persons' life, can change the out come that the parents predicted for it. This is what went wrong with the creation of the dinosaurs; the tried to predict the simple system and control nature and it back fired.

Malcolm brings up the point of intelligence. Intelligence is brought out through experiences in life, it also comes about through schooling and any other natural process of learning. Intelligence on the other hand is what computers are formatted with. It is the intelligence that is programmed into machines and other computer like systems.
