Credit where credit's due

A friend of mine posted a video on Facebook today of a collection of near misses, people escaping death by automobile literally by inches and milliseconds. It's quite entertaining and amazing that some of those people survived or even walked away without a scratch.
What bothers me is that some Christian whack-job has added the title;
"God loves you , he'll be there.... Here's the proof. - Jesus protects eveveryone who believe." [sic]
Really? Have you checked on the religions of everyone in those videos? I'll bet money that half of those people are not practicing Christians. And what about the 120+ other people who are killed on the roads every day in the USA alone, presumably none of them believe in Jesus.
This kind of simplistic propaganda irritates me, "That's amazing/incredibly unlikely/too complicated for me to understand therefore God did it". It's the same phenomenon as the 'miracle' landing on the Hudson river. Give credit where it's due, to the skilled veteran pilot, the drivers who use what little control they have in an accident to avoid hitting a pedestrian, the pedestrian's quick reactions, even the rally spectators who had the foresight to stand close to a tree, or a concrete barrier because they realised they were on a dangerous corner.
