At least the eco loonies can't blame climate change for this!

The Sun is almost the same size of the moon giving their relative distances from the earth.So the moon can totally block out the sun. It is almost like the Universe has a designer which I believe it has.

God wants us to look in awe at these rare events and see something of God's glory and power

We know how and why it happens.  What's to be in awe of?

It is clearly unlikely to be pre-designed as suggested. It just adds a complication that explains nothing.

 

In the past the moon has been nearer to earth, and in the future it'll be further away. Between the two points in time is 'now' where the sun and moon appear to us as basically similar sizes. At some point in time this had to be the case, and we are simply fortunate enough to be here to witness it.

 

(Of course, if reincarnation is real, then it's probably inevitable that we are here to see it.)
