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.
