@PatKirby Or major natural disaster?
Probably not far off - they are horribly frequent, over historical scales. (The Bible covers only one relatively small society in one region over only a few centuries, and is not really a historical treatise anyway.)
We've have one major pandemic and several serious epidemics of various diseases among humans and other animals, and plants like trees, already in this fifth or a century so far. Floods and droughts, too.
