Yes this is a very personal matter and there is no real way to prove anyone's viewpoint right or wrong. But I'll stick my neck out and toss out an opinion.
I believe the universe has an intelligent creator, a divine first mover, a god who cares about us human beings. And I believe in an afterlife.
That being said, I think God created the universe to operate according to certain natural physical laws, and God does very little, if any, intervening in daily events on this planet. He does not decide where to send a hurricane. Or when an earthquake might strike. He does not sit up in heaven deciding "I think it's time for Jimmy Anderson to be run over by a car today." He just lets the world operate in accordance with the original plan. We will all die, but the exact time and circumstances are not predestined.
