Are "Acts of God" Disappearing?

The video discusses a historical legal case involving a flood in Kansas that destroyed a trainload of butter, leading to a lawsuit where the 'act of God' defense was used. The term 'act of God' has been used since the 1500s to describe unforeseen natural events. To use this defense, one must prove that reasonable precautions couldn't prevent the damage and that it was caused by a natural force without human influence. However, advancements in technology and understanding of human impact on natural disasters are making it harder to meet these criteria. The video suggests that while 'act of God' cases may increase, the success of this defense may decline due to better prediction and recognition of human contributions to such events.
