God uses his own tools to "work his mysterious ways

I've always thought that natural occurances that led to mystical events were evidence of a greater being at work.

For these tests, I hope they chose the lesser of two weevils.

"Even when, during the respective Thera Conferences, individual scientists had pointed out that the magnitude and significance of the Thera eruption must be estimated as less than previously thought, the conferences acted to strengthen the original hypothesis. The individual experts believed that the arguments advanced by their colleagues were sound, and that the facts of a natural catastrophe were not in doubt... All three factors reflect a fantasy world rather than cool detachment, which is why it so difficult to refute the theory with rational arguments." -- pp 49-50.

Sounds like global warming conferences.

Read about it in Gavin Menzies' book on Minoan 'Atlantis', but this snip comes from a skepticultist blogger:

In 1982, J. R. Steffan reported that he had found a single specimen of Lasioderma serricorne (commonly called the tobacco beetle) in the mummy of Ramses II. More turned up in Egypt (one was found in Tut's tomb), and in 2000 Eva Panagiotakopulu reported a specimen found on Santorini.
