BZZT! Wrong answer, but thanks for playing anyway. I'm not completely sure what Gonzalez is getting at here, but your arrogant dismissal of his point doesn't hide the complexity of aligning the axis of the sun/earth orbit and the moon/earth orbit and the distance of the sun, moon and earth required to create the solar eclipse. A phenomenon that Gonzalez is unwilling to attribute to the big bang. Just because Gonzalez continues to question phenomenon that you dismiss doesn't deprive you of your determination to cling to your dogma.
Which makes Dogbarktree's point:
"He who knows that he knows, doesn't really know. He who knows that he doesn't know, knows."

Nephi,
You said, "...but your arrogant dismissal of his point doesn't hide the complexity of aligning the axis of the sun/earth orbit and the moon/earth orbit and the distance of the sun, moon and earth required to create the solar eclipse..."
Let's say we were discussing something like The Flu. I look around and notice lot's of people with the flu having chicken soup. I then make this assertion:
"The same conditions that cause Chicken Soup, also make the flu possible."
Someone with a clearer head might disagree, and in order to prove my assertion false, he need only show ONE instance where chicken soup appears without the flu. So this person says in rebuttal to my assertion:
"They served chicken soup yesterday in the school cafeteria, and no one there had the flu. Chicken soup conditions seem to have nothing to do with flu occuring."
So, to counter the assertion that the conditions that make Solar Eclipses possible, I showed an example that illustrated that planet/moon eclipse alignments also occur on barren, frozen planets. His assertion is demonstratably false. Even worse, it is demonstratably false using no more than high school level astronomical information.
"Arrogant"? I prefer the term "Colorful".
