As an interested onlooker, I can't help but wonder if you're not
simply giving significance to your survival in terms of your religious
beliefs. After all, presumably one could find any number of devout
Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Wiccans, Atheists and so on who've
survived similar incidents each of whom will assign their survival to
their respective Gods, or simple (complex?!) luck of the draw. And of
course, to get anthropic about it, we never hear from the people who
don't survive.
While I can see that an incident like that might reinforce your
beliefs, with the best will in the world, given that such incidents
aren't unique, do you think that such things say anything about the
actual existence of a God?
