Coincidence that Sun and Moon seem same size or God's work?

[groll]

We do not know what is God's thinking when He made the earth, the moon, the stars, all of us.  We cannot fathom His way of thinking for He is Supreme.  But I believe that He made everything with purpose.  If the sun and moon seems of the same size, maybe He wants us to see and amaze with one of His majestic creation.

Life is too short to be anything else but peaceful contemplation.

A full moon rising from the hills of Beijing, a sun rise on the coast of Japan... Never forget everything that trump and his predecessors build will be sooner or later only dust...

Given enough distance every star looks the same size, no matter if 650 times the size of the sun or 0.7 times.  Compare to standing on a tower, both the tall guy and the midget look like ants from up there.

Everyone can write whatever they want on wikipedia. I was once hired to write for a local politicianon their page, i don't even know if it was real. but yeah whatever they wanna write there, its theirs.
So long as they don't interfere with the bitcoin going to skyrocket, I'd be just fine.

If you think that scientific wikipedia articles are false or manipulated then you can go to library or contact directly to astronomers and ask if those facts are true or false.

how can we be sure those books in the libraries and astronomers are telling the truth?
new discoveries even told us that we have to rewrite text books and history since there were actually 12 planets in the milky way not just nine.

You don't even know the difference between the milky way and the solar system.

Wow this discussing really did take an ugly turn.
I call this a magnificent system that we live in, everything is their for a reason and everything has a role to play in the grand scheme.
Now I'm not particularly religious but I do believe that the system that has been developed has been made like a perfect design.
I call it science but I'm open to the concept of God, and maybe I don't believe him as well as the believers do, but I'm not speak ill about the idea.

That's very intelligent approach.

In the known universe Earth is the only place where total eclipses occur because of this

For what it's worth... we have only investigated roughly 0.00000000000000000000001% of the universe...  we have no clue how common or uncommon this is


Also... god does not exist... so no, its definitely not "because god"

Just stop already... fucking stop trying to blame god for everything in the universe... THERE IS NO GOD

God created the universe and He is.

If he exists, ask him to post here, ask him to sign his message with my bitcoin address private keys.

If he does not post, he does not exist.  Case closed.

He is not going to reveal Himself to nonbelievers.

He's omnipresent according to your bible. So why he cant just simply show himself up on my window and make a wave for me or it might not going to happen cause it doesn't exist.

As you were saying the sun is 400 times farther away , do you know how near is the moon from our planet ? . You know it is just a reflection so the sun seems like a same size as the moon it is impossible for them to be same at size they are just tricking your mind and actually god is not responsible for that he just made it as a natural phenomena so dont take it seriously .

FYI the Moon and Sun are both about 32 miles wide at an altitude of about 3k miles.

LOL.

FYI, Mt. Everest is 5500 miles, still standing with snow all over it.

Do you even know how ridiculous your statement is?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_altitude_record

Mt. Everest is 8,850 meters above sea level, or around 5.5 miles

The ISS orbits at 250 miles (which is why it orbits every 90 mins... it's fast and close)

I'm glad you told us this.

lol, newbies this days are so ridiculous.
So the highest flight was what 60 miles or so, long way to go to sun or moon both circling about 3000 miles above our plane.

And yes it is all God's handywork, only one exception: Water, it is everywhere. Above, below and the place you life right now most likely has a humidity of 70 to 100%

It is just coincidence.
And actually they dont really look same always.
Moon keeps changing its shape with shadows.

Also, the Sun is the same size, while the Moon as viewed from Earth, gets bigger and smaller.  Due to elliptical orbit mostly.

Solar Eclipse: Coincidence that sun and moon seem same size?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C331w687tI

The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, but it is also 400 times further away.  What this means is that, when viewed from the Earth, the Moon is exactly the correct size to perfectly obscure the Sun when they are aligned during a total eclipse. Don't believe me? Check Wikipedia and calculate yourself. In the known universe Earth is the only place where total eclipses occur because of this. Just a coincidence or one of God's miracles?

Think of the number of constellations and stars, and the multiple planets.
Do your calculation on the probability.

looks like wikipedia is the new bible of "scientism" lol

"Faith" a belief that is not based on proof

Where do you people come from?

1) What does your link have to do with wikipedia?

B) What is "scientism"?

Wikipedia is about facts and shared knowledge... what exactly do you have against wikipedia?


Every article on wikipedia has links to sources from other websites, books, etc


Please elaborate on how any book, periodical, news paper, encyclopedia or any other source is more accurate than wikipedia

Wikipedia itself claims to be very reliable

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_of_Wikipedia

Feel free to read about all their scientific studies along with over 200 references

Pitty Hubble (HST) does not exist, would have been nice to look at moon and sun from space. (Ups, forgot there is no Space)

Evolution: if someone thinks or feels he is part animal, let him be. I am pure Human God's creation.

It wouldn't do much good to point Hubble at the sun... any image it took would be over-saturated and out of focus

Fortunately, there is SOHO... a satellite orbiting the sun, monitoring it 24/7
