So our moon is 400x closer to us than the sun is, and moon's size is 400x smaller than the sun. Christians, like author Jay Richards, see this as one element of the Creator's fine tuning of the universe. But why would He do that? If we could find a plausible reason why He would do that, it would add credibility to the claim.

During solar eclipses, 19th century astronomers could study the light around the sun, which taught them how to understand the light of the stars. That became the key to astrophysics.
Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity was affirmed through study of solar eclipses, and that led to modern cosmology and the revelation that the universe had a beginning.
"[The] best time and place to view total solar eclipses in our Solar System is just when and where there are observers to see them. Let that sink in." Our Creator intended humanity to discover the secrets of His creation.
