Do you consider typhoons, hurricane and floods act of God?  

hi manong I dont think that typhoons, hurricanes and floods are acts of God but I believe that man in his greed has done such horrible things to nature that its really acts of man and not acts of God if that happens.

Yes it can. The humanity is disturbing the natural way that the environment works, by polluting the atmosphere and leading to global warming and other stuff like that.

The main causes of typhoons is the chock between two air currents, so if men are changing how those currents works, they are also changing the way 'natural' disasters happens.

I dont think that the natural calamities are the "acts of God". God is love. So I strongly believe that God cannot be cruel to the humans in the form of Flood or draught. To some extent we can blame men for this type of calamities. Because of our selfishness we cut the trees, we are dumping the plastic and wastage in an unscientific way . These activities will create the imbalance in the enviornment. So some of these calamities are "acts of men"

hii manong
When we are saying natural calamities, we actually mean something that happened naturally, so it doesn't mean that these are acts by humans. It is actually act done by God. But the humans are only destroying their surroundings, I mean that maybe we have done something wrong and that thing God has not been appreciated by God and he made the natural calamities to occur to make us understand that we have to make our environment better by doing good things. So, it is like a give and take relationship, we are doing something wrong that is giving and in return God gives us punishment that is natural calamities and we are taking it.
Have a nice day!

It is my humble belief that by HIS own rules HE will not interfere with nature ~ therefore it would not be an act of God but a result of nature. Could men have an affect - sure. Could it just be the earth is living and vibrant planet and this is a part if of its natural course - why not. I don't know that placing blame or cause changes the acts itself. And what do you think of that?

Yes they are acts of God. To say man is to blame is giving man more credit and denies the omnipotence of God. The only way man is responsible is in that he disobeyed God's command in the Garden of Eden. It is not that in this modern age, he decided to go from gathering food and hunting game to cultivating and destroying the land, or from going from wandering to living in cities, to having steel mills rather then using stone tools. In other words, man's progress did not cause these disasters. The only disaster man would be blamed for is failure to take precautions as when New Orleans was flooded because even though they knew that it was in danger of flooding, because for some years there were no floods, they did not built the dams or levees high enough or when in Earthquake prone countries, they think building adobe houses with no foundations will be all right.

I think its better to call them as the consequences of what we are doing. I think man also behaves like an animal in certain areas because we cease to think on certain issues and carry on doing them and we blame the so called GOD for the consequences of all our acts. You do the act.Blame the God for the result if its a bad one and congratulate yourself if its a good one. Population is increasing,pollution is increasing Ecosystem balance is greatly affected these days because of deforestation so what else can we expect. I think all these natural calamities can be traced back to the loss of eco balance. Ofcourse these are all my opinions and need not necessarily be the exact reasons.

These events have been happening for thousands of years so how could man be responsible for them? In order for this theory to hold up, there would have to be a predictable increase in activity as time goes by and there is not. I believe these events are "acts of nature". I don't believe that God creates every high or low pressure system or that He forms every storm or directs it's path.
