Is it a coincidence that the earth is in the precise distance from the sun to spark life? 10% closer (a mere 9 million miles) and water would boil off, 10% further out and water would be perpetually frozen.

God proclaims his glory and demonstrates it every solar eclipse. The moon is set in such a precision orbit, and is exactly the correct size to blot out the sun for only a second or two. If the moon were slightly smaller, or the orbit changed, and eclipse would be far less spectacular. A coincidence?

Water becomes it's densest at a couple of degrees above freezing. This allows ice to float. Without this little feature, oceans would be solid masses of ice, from top to bottom. I can not believe this is coincidence.

To me, the hand of God can been seen in an awful lot of science.

Just one mans opinion.

Ever heard of the Anthropic Principle?

We're at a distance from the sun that could generate advanced life forms capable of thinking about and posting an internet message commenting on how far the earth is from the sun. Planets at the incorrect distance from the sun(and there may be trillions of those) will not generate advanced life forms posting on a message board commenting on their distance from the sun. And given our distance from the sun we're going to evolve life forms perfectly adapted to that distance from the sun.

Basically, our distance from the sun could very easily be dumb luck rather than divine intervention.

Actually since the moon is receeding from the Earth, this phenomena is a very short lived one indeed.

All of your examples give rise to the reason life is here at all. They do not posit a diety.

Is it just a coincidence that mud puddles are always just the right shape to fit the holes in the ground so they don't stick up into the air?
