Because it is the "Will of God" and not caused by human intervention.
Do you really not understand the religious thought process, or are you
just pointing out how logical it is? If you really don't understand why
they don't complain about this, you will be unable to effectively
counter their debates. You must fully understand your opponent's
actions and see why they are logical to their belief system, or else you
really don't understand at all. It is not possible to win debates or
concoct counter strategies if you think your opponent is random.
