:::The "tirade" thing was directed at Flippin, not you, Sherm, sorry for the confusion. But, I would say that he didn't cause the flood, but that's because I'm not a biblical literalist, and I don't think that Noah actually saved all life on Earth. But, if you believe in God, certainly some acts are acts of God. But it goes too far to say that everything happening in the world is an act of God. Certainly they're in accord with his plan, but not directly caused.-[[User:AmesG|AmesG]] 12:15, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
::::[[User:Flippin|Flippin]], please note that [[User:AmesG|AmesG]] tends to have "a chip on his shoulder" and is ready to argue (on ALL points). And [[User:AmesG|AmesG]], Gee, give us all a break, dude. (Though I '''did''' like the analogy of the President being my plumber, [turn on the light switch to get the hot water on], though I'd rather him do the gardening.) ANYWAY...
::::"Stuff happens," to paraphrase the vulgar bumper-sticker: We don't know if there even is a "why" when stuff happens; we can know what leads ''up'' to stuff happening, we can see inside tornadoes and project with a fair degree of accuracy where they're going to go next but the philosophical '''reasons why''' tornadoes happen will be argued until the end of time.
::::I believe it error to conclude that just because we can know what happens to create a tornado we can dispense with God and any plan He might have with regard to that tornado.
