Since I do not recognize any divine entity I cannot believe in divine intervention. I believe unlikely things are more likely to happen by chance rather than under some invisible hand of God. It has always rather irked me when I hear people say the Phrase, "God will not give you more than you can handle." Another irritating phrase would be, "Everything happens for a reason." I heard someone say both phrases to a friend of mine who lost their young son who was ran over by a drunk snowmobile driver while he was sledding with his family at the park. I personally find it rather distasteful to suggest that some "higher being" made a decision to take an innocent life. Divine intervention whether saving a life or taking it, there is no understandable logic in it for myself.
