Many people falsely assume others know what they know. Bigger fools think no one can teach them.
I'm an extreme statistics guy myself. I've played many games where knowledge of statistics helps you win. I am even a game designer where statistics can be used to make the game fun. I took statistics in college and did well. I'm a statistics nerd. It's easy for me to assume other people can just look at these events and go,"Well the statistics involved in these are just not possible to be cooincidence.". Not everyone knows how to think like they teach you in physics about "Orders of Magnitude" to assign odds on life events as a scientist does on a routine basis. Not everyone knows you multiply these "estimation odds" together to find the total odds.
Most people reason that if a man hits the powerball lottery 3 days in a row, it's not luck...
...the probabilities of hitting the powerball three days in a row that are so absurd that something else behind the scenes has to be going on.
.
So I have compiled the estimated odds on random chance being the determining factor to show you just how these are most definitely from God.

Chance of Original "Good News" miracle: 1 in 665,000,000,000 or more
Chance of God's approval of our book: 1 in 14,250,000,000,000
Chance of The Miracle of Dreams: 1 in =1/710,748,738,220,779,440,227
Chance of Prayer Upon a Shooting Star: 1 in 600 or 1 in 15,000 depending.
Chance of Spicy Miracle: 1 in 144,000,000
Chance of klove.com 'Who Am I?' Miracle: 1 in 198,903,859,200
Chance of Four Leaf Clover Miracle: 1 in 10,000
Chance of God Helping Me Cope With Missing The Girl I Love: 1/129,600,000 odds of occurance
Odds of hitting the powerball 3 days in a row? 1 in
24,897,088,000,000,000,000,000,000
Odds of these miracles being random chance? 1 in
2,443,740,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
These few miracles are astronomically less likely to happen than hitting the powerball 3 days in a row.
If you're like most and reason it's not believable for a man to hit the powerball randomly 3 days in a row, we see it's far less believable for a couple answered prayer to happen. Yes, God exists.
I've seen many more miracles since so the odds are much more beyond astronomical. You can even test this out yourself by getting spiritually right with God so he wants to listen to your prayer. Ask Jesus for forgiveness of wrongs you've done to others or God might find your prayers too hateful to listen to.
Proverbs 28:9 If you do not obey the law, God will find your prayers too hateful to hear.
Not all prayer gets answered... A prayer to cure someone of cancer might not be a spiritual possibility and we learn why this is in the Book of Job: Sometimes we can't get something, just because the devil tells God,"You took from me my spot in Heaven so I do not love you for I have less stuff. If you do not answer the prayer of this human, they will not love you either." If God said to the devil,"I gave you more stuff than this human and you still don't love me. Why would it matter?" The devil would say to God,"Then give me more! Give me it all! Give me your ruling status as God!" So God deals with things far above what we're dealing with. When a selfless prayer goes unanswered and a selfish one gets answered, we don't have to quit and be sad. We can pray around the unanswered selfless prayer for others.
An entirely selfless prayer to heal someone of a disease might not get answered, but a selfish prayer to meet your future marriage partner or get a new car might get answered. So you pray for a loved one's cancer to be removed from their body and healthy cells replace it, but that doesn't happen, God does not will it. You do not give up and stop praying. Pray for that daily or a few times a day. Pray around it. Pray though the cancer does not get removed, that it does not spread, that it does not hurt the individual. Pray they get good treatment, care and know people love them. Pray they have good food, good times, and good spirits. If they are not to be cured of cancer, let them live as if they don't even feel it hurt them. Let the treatment of cancer not beat them down. Let the pain not be there, and if there is pain, that it's not intense. Prayer does get answered, and prayer for people healing do get answered... So always be praying for people in the hospitals to get healed up and painfree, good government for the people and the poor get fed and clothed.
Conclusion: If you agree that those things just aren't happening by random chance, then they have to be of God. Another person might be skeptic that I am lying about this, but there is no gain to lie for the cause of truth. I hope some take this moment and realize it is a God moment, like reading your Bible is a God moment. In this God moment, gain some faith that Jesus does love you. Gain some faith that the God of all mankind is the only God, and he does everything in love. Other religions have gods that will serve you and give you power if you obey them. The true God served you by dying on a cross, and teaches we should serve others and work for them out of love. It's the religion of being nice to others, uplifting, and having BBQ inviting over people who can't afford it. How will you be good and loving to others, dying to selfishness and living to help? There's many ways of serve, but only one Jesus Christ who taught us to love always... Love even your enemies.
Have some faith in the guy. Not only does he love all of us, he wants you to love all of us too because then you love those that he loves! Die to selfishness, live for others. Help everyone you can. This is the only side of eternity that we can help people out of their suffering. And knowing that we will live forever in paradise where anything is possible should stoke us enough that dying to selfishness now is not a big deal. Lets live to help everyone we can. Read our Bible, pray, and love God and neighbor! Get stoked! Jesus loves you! Jesus is LORD!
