Saw this posted on FB this week. Perhaps you saw it, too. It's SPOT ON, I think. I mean, really, every self-proclaimed atheist should consider this: What do you think is the probability that the sun would be the right distance from our earth and the right size, and that the moon would also be the right size and at the right distance, such that they would appear to be EXACTLY the same size in the sky so as to reveal the sun's corona during a total solar eclipse? HMMM???

I wonder if anyone would even try to do that math. Maybe the geniuses who make global warming weather models could attempt that math. Should they factor in the probability of the right kind of star since most stars are the wrong kind of stars to support life. I doubt that we have managed to detect an earth sized planet 93ish million miles from the right kind of star.

They frankly don't know why planets exist so it gets pretty tricky to model probabilities of size and distance but that level if ignorance certainly doesn't stop global warming modelers.

Have you considered the fact that the moon is gradually moving away from the earth. Millions of years ago, it would have appeared much larger in the sky. Millions of years in the future, it will appear much smaller. Perfect solar eclipses didn’t happen in the far past and won’t happen in the far future.
