Subject: RE: BS: What amazes you?
I am amazed that, for no known reason, our moon appears exactly the same size as the sun so that each generation sees eclipses that engender a drive to understand the movements of the spheres.
It is if it was planned.
Also that but for our unique Earth/Moon arrangement we would not have had a world stable enough for evolution to have chance to work, and we only have it because a Mars sized planet collided with us at a very precise angle and velocity.
What is the likelihood of that happening by chance?

I am amazed that all the constants of nature are fine tuned to produce suns with a long and stable life and all the chemical elements to make planets and life.
Coincidence upon bizarre coincidence over and over again.
Amazing!
