Acts of God

  1. plural of Act of God
    As regards “famines and floods,” these have long been considered “Acts of God.”
    Why floods, earthquakes and storms were considered Acts of God is unclear, especially since by this time less than 22 percent of Toronto-dwellers attended church.
    Examples of some unusual circumstances, such as insects (eg, grasshoppers), mid-late season drought, or hail, where the crop may not be totaled but is adversely affected, are often considered Acts of God.
