Why do people say "By some divine miracle of God"?

Who do people say, "Why do people say?"

Modern language simply.
And I say that, with the idea that I've only ever heard "by some divine miracle", which completely suggests "by god" but is a more appropriate use.
And that would be because people have begun calling many things 'miracles', so the term miracle has completely lost its importance in divinity, so they say 'divine miracle' to clear that up.
People that refer to anything as a miracle these days tend to use it to just describe something completely against all common beliefs. Say, a sports game where someone was basically, by basic stats of the team, supposed to win/lose by a large margin, but turn around and do what nobody expected.
Now, the highly religious tend to keep the term miracle to being only in terms of divinity, but the term has become readily accepted in non-religious conversation.

By some divine miracle of God or Vince, the Packers will shore up an anemic run defense and show up against them bastards south of the border today.

It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
I blame Mr. Bacardi for letting me remember this song exists.
