The first chip on my shoulder was blown off when I learned that the sun and moon were EXACTLY the same size at their zenith in the sky.

Could you elaborate? Why would this make you return to faith?

And if the sun and the moon are exactly the same size, then why do we have annular eclipses?

Probably when an eclipse takes place when the moon is at the point of its orbit farthest from earth, making it appear smaller.

The main point is that there are waaay too many coincidences in the universe to make me think it was all random. I’ve got a million of ‘em, but those two made me go from “I’d doubt it” to “probably”.
