This was NOT a "God is real" event

Flukes happen. They do not prove anything beyond the notion that improbable-but-not-impossible things can and do occur. Getting lucky* no more proves that God is real than it proves the Flying Spaghetti Monster or the Invisible Pink Unicorn are real.

* I do not use the term "lucky" to imply some outside force at work, but simply to indicate the favorable occurrence of an improbable event. If you draw a one-outer on the river to win a hand, you got lucky (conversely, your opponent got unlucky).
