The conspiracy lunatics haven't started up on this "act of god" yet, but my guess is that something will start. Mike Lynch was just killed by what insurance companies call an act of god severe weather incident. Authorities claim that a ship moored nearby was unaffected by the storm. Lynch was celebrating his acquittal for his wire and security fraud case, and his lawyer died in the same incident. Lynch had previously lost the civil case Hewlett-Packard had brought against him, probably, based on the same fraud claims. Two days before Lynch died celebrating his acquittal his codefendant in the fraud case had been struck and killed by a car while out jogging.
Looks like a case of 3 neutral mutations occurring within a limited amount of time, but, sadly, with collateral damage associated. Crazy low probability events getting strung together. Tragic accidents or intelligent design? What got me thinking about ID was that I recall there was a Michael Lynch that was an evolutionary biologist who came out against the ID creationist scam when Dover was big news. Not the same Lynch, but a Lynch associated with ID.
Claiming that a death is the "will of God" or "God's plan" is often admonished as being inappropriate among Christians, but the admonishment is needed because it is not an uncommon condolence and belief. Behe's designer is a tweeker, Behe obviously believes that there is a plan.
