Diego Maradona :)
To find out more, click here - explains it all.
And Wiki also has a page on "Touched By The Hand Of God" here:
"The title of the song is believed by some to be a reference to a goal Diego Maradona scored for Argentina against England in soccer's 1986 World Cup (see Hand of God goal). Others believe it is a reference to masturbation. Taken at face value, the lyric - including the title line - refers to lost love, and was probably inspired by the break-up of Bernard Sumner's marriage."

i knew where the saying "the hand of god" came from
something got me thinking the song was about gillian :\ohwell:
I think it's about relationships, and how you never know when they're going to start or end.
Wasn't TBTHOG written for the film 'Salvation'?
I've always assumed that they came up with a title with a vague reference to the movie, then Barney rhymed a few words together!
'And I was touched by the hand of God I never knew it, but of course I was'
Genius!!
It wasn't written for the soundtrack, it just happened that they finished it around the time of the soundtrack.
It's about wanking. Most of them are.
