No offense but this is pretty common. Also, "in the field" you'd have a hard time differentiating a fairly-stochastic chance outcome (or 'luck') from a loaded die without a bit of infrastructure in place for your benefit. The two are probably related and nothing to get worked up about, IMHO.
I can't reconcile that men of science (internet atheists) can't comprehend other people (non-atheists) for being able to have seemingly contradictory beliefs. Do you think you're above cognitive dissonance yourself, dude?
There are a million things that had to go right for him to take the drug (no transportation problems, no attack, hospital didn't catch on fire, medicine didn't get compromised) science and Man control none of them. So it makes since that he thanked God.
He probably also credits his doctors with enabling his recovery. And the drugs he took. And his own decision not to just give up and die. How can he possibly handle all these crazy contradictions?
