On the existence of God

A Small Big Universe

…and this I have posted before:

In the summer of 2017, around the time of the total eclipse of the sun, I read where one secular astronomer called the fact that the disc of the moon in the sky so closely matches the disc of the sun “magic”.

The universe was designed to be discovered – from here, with our special moon. Huge amounts of knowledge about how stars and the universe work has been discovered – and more is still being discovered – during total solar eclipses. And that is not to mention all of the other details about why so much of the cosmos is visable, unobstructed, from here, and during mankind’s occupancy of the planet.

It’s funny, but the expression ‘fine-tuning’ comes to mind.

(How many planets with intelligent life have a sun and a moon like that? I would expect unbelievers, without justification, to subsume that immense unlikelihood into a probabilistic intuition.)
