the amazing coincidence that the moon is exactly the right size to
exactly cover the sun about 6 times a decade to give us a spectacular
eclipse
seems almost to much to believe that it really is a coincidence,
but I cant think of anything in the evolution of the planets and the
creation of our moon
to suggest otherwise

I think this goes along with the fact that the earth is in the ideal
spot in it's distance from the sun to produce the ideal tempurature, and
various other life preserving conditions. It is by God's design.

And possibly major scientific conferences being called in the corner
of Egypt in the track of totality last Wednesday ;-)
