All you saw was an illegal act by the US Supreme Court, as the Florida slate was supposed to be acceptable to Congress. It was far from an "act of God."
It wasn't the best reasoned decision but since it was a response to bananna republica-style jurisprudence by by the Florida Court -- which had no Constitutional mandate to be invovled in the disupte and was arguably violating the Flordia Constitution -- I wouldn't say the USSC overstepped its bounds.
Since it was well within the realm of possibility that things could have gone the other way, I'll attribute Dubya's victory to the Glory of the Almighty.
