who turns down a rescue from a boat, and a helicopter, etc saying God will save him, but dies in the flood, and in Heaven asks God WTF, and God replies that he sent a boat, and a helicopter, etc.

If you believe there's a God who made everything, knows everything, controls everything, then that God made all the scientists and public health officials too, and gifted them their intellect and knowledge. Maybe stop resisting the rescue which God is sending you or you're gonna end up in Heaven asking God WTF.
