Or maybe He had nothing to do with it at all, and it was just an accident.
People have them all the time. Sometimes they live, sometimes they die,
sometimes they are seriously injured, sometimes they get away with a scrape.
An accident, particularly one involving large objects like cars, involves
forces working against each other, and there are a significant number of
variables involved. Depending upon the placement of an individual in the
vehicle, depending on the design of the vehicle, upon speed, angle of
impact, and so on, it isn't exactly miraculous to think that some folks may
survive the most terrible accidents, while others may die in trivial ones.
Attributing survival to your god is no better than some ancient people
attributing a good harvest to their deity.
