The Nimrod Sin
The sin of King Nimrod, in the Old Testament, was to build a tower high enough to reach into Heaven so that he could access God.
The myth goes that as the Tower of Babel reached a great height, God was displeased and was concerned that humanity as a unified people would be capable of great things by their working together. So "He" caused great confusion in peoples' minds and sent them running in divergent directions. This confusion caused them to splinter their singular language into dozens of different tongues, from which sprang many nations and differing cultures of the world.
The arrogance of modern technology and science seeks to replace god ( God ) with it's own singular omnipotence, to reach heights unforeseen where every single aspect of life can be known and predicted. That would qualify as 'omniscience' to me, a quality usually reserved for the Biblical God. It's richly ironic how science works SO hard to deny the existence of God while doing everything it can to take 'his' place.
