Was it all just a coincidence? Is my life here just a figment of your imagination and you mine-I can taste-touch-see-smell-hear-and think-and dream-and imagine-and reason and contemplate and place perspective into consideration-and manipulate the findings and devise a theory and test this to define the parimeters and deminsions-and damn where is that tree of knowledge because I sure would be the first to pick a peck and hope God could see that living a life of ignorance just isn't for me-So why does The Moon perfectly eclipse the sun-how did these dimensions come into alignment in such a way that formed a parimeter that would place one heavenly body in total unison with another? It is by far one of the most amazing sights any man will see-the wonderment of our Galaxy-did God do this all for me? For You? Is he sad and that's why are skies are blue? I want to say be peaceful dear God but then I think of all the fraud-why would a loving entity-burn his Creation Eternally? Poor SATAN &ME?

GOD made them perfect of course!

It is completely by chance that the moon ellipses the sun at this point in time. A few billion years ago the moon would have appeared much larger than today, and the tidal effects would have been much greater. You see the moon is slowly pulling away from Earth, and will eventually leave orbit. If you could live a few hundred thousand years the moon would appear much smaller and would not fully eclipse the sun.
Sky's are blue due to the light scattering properties of our atmosphere it's called Rayleigh scattering.
As for water running down hill, I think that gravity explains that nicely.

Somewhat poetic, seeking question. I can tell you what we know about all these wonderful celestial phenomena, but it's not very interesting. I'm glad eclipses fascinate you. There is much perfection. A pristine alpine meadow comes to mind. Matter is frozen energy. Stars are energy. We are stardust, thrown in golden if you like. It seems you must have a little knowledge to want to nibble off the tree in the first place. As for your galactic aspersions, you should see the Andromeda Galaxy. Now there's a galaxy. Makes our own pale by comparison. I don't think god made the Andromeda for your delight. But I think that knowledge made telescopes, tracking motors, and long exposure hypered Kodachrome so you can delight in the photograph of our galactic neighbor. And yes, have some sympathy for the devil. Ask Mick Jagger, he'll tell ya.

What exists just does and humans anthropomorphize it (the sky being blue because God is sad). What is, just is, and humans place their personal judgments and feelings onto these inanimate things. The eclipse is nothing more than the moon blocking out the sun during a specific time during the various orbits. If you want to romanticize it, then go ahead, I'm sure it's nice to do and feels good, but your feelings don't make things so on a universal level... though they may make them true for you.

As a matter of fact the moon doesn't always perfectly eclipse the sun - Most celestial orbits are elliptical, and the moon's is no exception, so if an eclipse occurs when the moon is in the more distant part of its orbit, it doesn't completely cover the sun's disk.
How could an intelligence exist before there was a universe in which it could evolve? That's patently impossible. Intelligence is a product of the universe, not the other way round.

The moon doesn't "perfectly eclipse the sun." Where'd you get that idea? After all, there are various magnitudes of eclipses depending on the location of the sun, the earth, and the moon at any particular time. If someone made it that way, then yes, probably god (or space aliens). But that's assuming someone made it that way, and that's what athiests and agnostics disagree on. Stop begging the question.

God gives man free will. If God was all evil as those who don't love Him or refuse to believe in Him insinuates He is, we'd not be here now. Humans love to blame God for the evil they do. I thank God I'm not a puppet on a string. I am responsible for every single choice I make, and that would include an eternity in hell if I refused His free gift of salvation through Christ Jesus. Whoever ends up in hell made that choice themselves.

An aside
THE BOOK OF ADAM
Translated from the Georgian original. Translator: J.-P. Mahe
Source: commissioned for this electronic edition.
3.2 Eve told Adam, "Oh, if I were dead then God would have accepted you in paradise!" Adam replied to Eve and said to her, "Because of us a great anger lies against (upon?) all creatures. (However) I do not know this: whether it is because of me or because of you." Eve replied to Adam, "My lord, if you think it wise, kill me so that I will be exterminated from the sight of God and his angels, so that God's anger against you may cease, which happened because of me: and he will bring you back into paradise.
3.3 Adam replied and told her, "No, no! Do not mention this matter, lest God send another judgment upon us because of (this) killing. How could I raise my hand and cause my own flesh to suffer?" Then Eve told him, "Arise, let us both seek vegetables."

I could answer them all but it would take a long time.
Suffice to say that the moon doesn't perfectly eclipse the sun - it just appears to do so because of our position in space,
As to why water runs - look into hydro-dynamics.
As for why the sky is blue - look up Rayleigh scattering.

God created everything in His perfect imagination. Where we want to spend eternity-Heaven or hell-is our God-given freewill. I live for Jesus Christ-the living God-so I have eternal life.
