Solar Eclipses the perfect alignment

It’s incredibly amazing how the moon exactly covers the sun when viewed from earth. The sun couldn’t be any bigger or smaller. The moon couldn’t be any bigger or smaller. And then the placement of the two from earth has to be precise, so that way our view from earth would have the sun be the same size as the moon, and that occassionally, we get to see them exactly overlap. To see just how incredible this is to scale, view Earth and Sun to Scale (when you view that link, just imagine how the moon has to be such an incredibly small speck and it has to be placed JUST right to cover up the big sun).

Now how can this just be an “accident”? There’s no scientific reason why the sun would exactly cover up the moon. It’s purely an aesthetic thing that this visual miracle could happen. It serves no evolutionary purpose. Surely this had to be designed this way by someone who has a glorious eye for true beauty.
