My hypothesis is that the rule (life and death are in the hands of God) was instituted when suicide was available and life extension wasn’t. Life is in the hands of God wasn’t really relevant, it was just thrown in to make God sound more benevolent (so that He isn’t just killing people) and more powerful.
