Well, of course... god sent a boat to save them from the wreck of the boat he didn't save!
They can also spin it by suddenly remembering a series of "spiritual warnings" that god sent them, trying to get them to avoid taking this trip in the first place. Clearly they need to improve their relationship with god, otherwise they would have recognized the warnings right away.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
