Did Your God Save The Chilean Miners?

So the 33 Chilean miners trapped more than 2,000 feet underground for 69 days are now free.  But who really freed them?  Different churches are lining up trying to claim their unique divine intervention in the rescue, forgetting about the impressive technological achievement and cooperation of the Chilean engineers and government officials.
