Something happened to these "nobodies" for lack of better word that empowered them to actualize a pseudo-philosophical system of thought which caused considerable change. A miraculous happening in and of itself.
Unless you're simply engaging in hyperbole, the word "miraculous" is not only misplaced here, it's also begging the question in a most shameless fashion. Even if events played out as you describe, there's no justification to label them as miraculous without bastardising the word such that any event even slightly unusual or remarkable in some other way is a miracle.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
