Do you think that it's significant that the Moon and the Sun are the same apparent size from Earth?

Question

I find it interesting that at the only time in the Earth's History that the Sun and Moon are the same apparent size is the only time (probably) that there have been living things, ie humans, on this planet that have been able to percieve this phenomenon in this way. - I would appreciate any answers or speculations, including those from people who don't think this is true, eg fundamental Christians etc, or whoever else. As you see by me asking this question as if it's possibly of interest I have room to consider any beliefs, or opinions, including the common sense, that it's random coincidence. I have no theories, but some interest in synchronicity. PS. it's generally assumed by the "scientific" community, and myself, this has not always been the case, ie the distance of the Moon from Earth. I would ask this over other catergories, but have almost run out of available questions for today.

Interesting answers so far, as is usually the case I miss delivering the point by "rambling", nice to see the predicted response.

Answer 1

It's a neat idea, and personally I agree with Kubler Ross "there are no coincidences, only divine manipulation". The moon gives us a gentle light by night and the sun gives us the heat we need for life by day. Both are part of the natural balance and order of things and part of God's large-scope purpose for us all.

Answer 2

it would nicely be considered a celestial twist of destiny yet I evaluate the count number a feat of masterful celestial mechanics. it would nicely be considered evidence there's a more beneficial intelligence someplace contained in the Universe on good of issues. trust it or no longer because of this unique celestial layout there are 12 image voltaic eclipses each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days that would nicely be considered someplace in the international. the reason lots of them are unseen is as a results of the angular deflection of the Earth itself on the point on the globe the position it could be considered. only the deflections that are linear with significant land 1000's on the time of the eclipse are suggested to the traditional public the position and at the same time as they are commonly considered.

Answer 3

Yes an interresting question, though a bit over wordy. the "psychologists" have not read Jung.
There are a few similar questions that are asked and answered in other catergories, I haven't seen a good one yet.

Answer 4

i don't think this is the phenomenon you are making it out to be, and what does it have to do with Christianity vs. the scientific community? your question needs some clarifying because it seems to be a large ramble.

Answer 5

I don't even remotely agree - I think the moon seems ever changing in size while the sun is a constant.
