what you don't seem to grasp is the large number of accidents that are needed to produce life would almost inevitably occur somewhere in the vast universe which has billions of Earth-like planets.
Science on human life: duh, given a billion years, duh, and a billion more accidents, duh, presto....human life.
And you say design is unreasonable?

If, extremely hypothetically. and when that evidence changes and very clearly points the other way, then I will believe Goddidit. We go wherever the evidence points. If you want to convince any of us, you must show us EVIDENCE of Goddidit. If you have no such evidence, time to revise your beliefs and you are really wasting your time trying to convince us rational people of your irrational beliefs; that will NEVER happen and you are delusional for thinking it might.

Your only "evidence" thus far has been accident upon accident upon accident. With a few maybe's and possibly's to throw in as well.
You have nothing, except for your 'billion years', which produces more magic than Merlin.

I have not done the research yet, but I am certain that I will be correct.
You claim that if the moon was 100,000 miles closer to earth, it wouldn't mean that much.
Where did I say that. Stop lying.
I am not dodging your questions on purpose, as I am fighting on all fronts here.
You are dodging on purpose. It is obvious. Every time I ask you something about the moon, you switch to talking about human life. You wouldn't 'be fighting on all fronts' if you didn't keep trying to change the topic to dodge the questions.
Can you please tell me, one at a time, and I will try to answer? If you are willing.
1. What is special about the moons orbit with regards to eclipses? (do you even know what the moons orbit is or how eclipses work?)

You have not produced one reasonable shred of proof on this thread about anything.
"Probability" is the only thing you have offered. It is weak and lacks anything scientific.

I'm really quite surprised about this development in our discussion. I will admit that I have always 'assumed' that if the moon were much closer to earth, it would spell disaster, and am currently not able to reply without doing some research.

although 'arrogance' might not be quite the right word.

And to say probability lacks anything scientific just betrays the depth of your ineptitude. (Go ahead, resent that greatly).

If you don't count Elvis burnt toast, hamsters and cheese.
I have yet to see science.
Just because you claim that a massive planetary collision may have happened, with no proof, that just so happened to form our moon, and its orbit, along with the distance away the sun is, by accident, doesn't mean that your entire accidental universe theory must be believed by anyone who finds your claim more absurd than a notion of design.
Design makes more sense than your theory of accidents and UNprobables.

Or maybe you think God is on your side. If that is the case why are you wallowing in low numbers in your rating? BTW, it won't be anywhere near a billion years before the end of eclipses I just used that for the easy math.
I can see that you're ignoring the eclipses we DO have now as design, by trying to focus attention on what may happen in a billion years. My guess is that if the moon moves, then earth and sun will somehow move in harmony as designed, which will produce eclipses as always.
Hey....do you have any idea what would happen if the moon was 100,000 miles closer ...[text shortened]... iend, you should think twice before challenging me at chess, for I have 'someone' on my side. 😉
It is just your religious dogma insisting the moon will always do perfect eclipses. What exactly are they for? It has been doing that for millions of years, way before humans or Neandertals or homo Habilis came on the scene, hundred million years ago it was clunking along creating eclipses. It is just your arrogance that the human race is worth such kind of attention that drives you.

The sun is also, 400 times further away from the moon.
The above 'coincidence' would not matter if the path of the moon did not cross paths with the sun.......but it does.
The orbit of the moon puts it directly in the path of the sun, producing an eclipse.
So, you are relying on 2 monumental accidents. And I don't buy it. Design is more likely.
Maybe.....you don't even see an eclipse as something special? Your ho-hum attitude would indicate that you are downplaying design so much that you will regard an eclipse as "no big deal"?
If so, we don't have much to discuss, because I believe that an eclipse is an extraordinary relationship between sun and moon. And designed.

Originally posted by chaney3You are right. We have nothing to discuss. Have it your way, you win, the moon will remain just as it is for the next 10 billion years, and even then there will be these incredible eclipses. Are you happy now?

I will add one more monumental accident.
Ghost has said that the moon was formed by some sort of "monumental planetary collision" with earth.
How 'lucky' that after this alleged collision, the moon was not only 400 times smaller than the sun, but ended up in the orbit it did, to cross paths with the sun.
Too many accidents. I cannot believe the extent some will go to refute design.
