Tsunami is an Act of God? Yes.
Look into the publicly accepted definition about "Act of God" (as mentioned and quoted below) and compare with the characteristic of Tsunami.
It is animously consented that, tsunami:
- is the result of earthquake in some place in the ocean; and
- it cannot be avoided nor prevented by human.
The premise that everything bad is not the Act of God is FALSE. Sometimes God gives people hard times. Yes, at that very moment, it looks bad, but, the impact of it in the future will always be good.
Remember: After experiencing bitterness, the sweet things will always taste very sweet.
God gives us bitterness, so that we know how much His blessings have we enjoyed, and be thankful of it.
The term "Act of God" is a very familiar term in the legal field. Its definition is:
"Act of God or act of nature is a legal term[1] for events outside of human control, such as sudden floods or other natural disasters, for which no one can be held responsible. This does not protect those who put others in danger of acts of God through negligence, such as a camp counselor who instructs a group of children on a hike to stand under a tree to escape a lightning storm." 1
or
"An unpreventable destructive occurrence of the natural world.
Example: A Contract has a provision that allows the buyer to Default if the property is damaged by an act of God. Examples of an act of God are: earthquake, flood, hurricane, lightning, tornado." 2
or
"An event that directly and exclusively results from the occurrence of natural causes that could not have been prevented by the exercise of foresight or caution; an inevitable accident. Courts have recognized various events as acts of Godtornadoes, earthquakes, death, extraordinarily high tides, violent winds, and floods. ..." 3
or
"act of God, in law, an accident caused by the operation of extraordinary natural force. The effect of ordinary natural causes (e.g., that rain will leak through a defective roof) may be foreseen and avoided by the exercise of human care; failure to take the necessary precautions constitutes negligence, and the party injured in the accident may be entitled to damages. An act of God, however, is so extraordinary and devoid of human agency that reasonable care would not avoid the consequences; hence, the injured party has no right to damages. Accidents caused by tornadoes, perils of the sea, extraordinary floods, and severe ice storms are usually considered acts of God, but fires are not so considered unless they are caused by lightning." 4
or
"An extraordinary and unexpected natural event, such as a hurricane, tornado, earthquake or even the sudden death of a person. An act of God may be a defense against liability for injuries or damages. Under the law of contracts, an act of God often serves as a valid excuse if one of the parties to the contract is unable to fulfill his or her duties - for instance, completing a construction project on time." 5
