In English language “an act of God” is a legal term, which is used to define natural disasters, which happen with no human intervention and are completely outside of their control. Floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides – all of these are examples of natural disasters, causing environmental, financial and, not rarely, human losses… If it is an act of God, what does it mean – the divine scourge for our sins, a reminder about the supreme power, or it is just one of the imminent components of the universe order, which keeps the scales between Good and Evil in balance? Let philosophers discuss this dilemma and find the reasonable explanation to it… With this post our goal is to give you visual illustrations of the extreme power of Nature in wrath and the terrible consequences of such natural disasters.
Some of the photographs of natural calamities, presented in this showcase, can terrify and increase the heartbeat. Though, this is only a tiny fraction of the feelings and emotional load, one goes through while being in the epicenter of the infuriated Nature. All of these pictures of natural disasters should not only be treated as the evidence of the supreme and omnipercipient power of God or Nature (whatever you choose based on your beliefs); while looking at the pictures below we suggest you remember that God is also all-forgiving and even the hardest storm will end with the beautiful rainbow… Maybe an act of God is just an extreme chance for people to respond in their turn with an act of Man and prove that mutual help and support, sympathy and kindness, self-sacrifice and love still remain at the core of the human soul…
