Did you see the eclipse yesterday? How is it possible for the moon to be exactly the exact size and distance between Earth and Sun, to cover the Sun exactly, when viewed from Earth. If not for intelligent design? It would be quite impossible for that to happen by pure chance. It would have to have been a miracle.

Except for the times when the eliptical orbit of the Moon results in an annular eclipse.
I suppose that reminds you of the Ring of Fire that awaits those who deny the terrible name of Chthulu (as well as those who acknowledge it!)
It's designed eh?
For what purpose?
*tumbleweed*
Good to know you're so immersed in your dogma you can only understand a beautiful natural phenomenon as a metaphor for what happened in a book.

Obviously he did it to show the believers how glorious he is.

That’s easy, it doesn’t. Next question?
It would be quite impossible for that to happen by pure chance.
No, it wouldn’t. It would be improbable , which is something completely different.
It doesn't cover the sun exactly, and the distance from the earth to the moon varies.
And even if it was in the right spot to cover the sun exactly, coincidence =/= God created the universe.
This sounds kind of like "tide comes in, tide goes out, you can't explain it" level wisdom.
Due to both it's closeness to earth and it's small size, the moon isn't capable of fully blocking the sunlight. During a Solar Eclipse, there are plenty of parts on earth that are still hit by sunlight, and therefore don't experience a full eclipse (like what happened over here). That's why the sun's corona is still visible during an eclipse, imbecile.
A lunar eclipse on the other hand can fully block the sunlight. But it's something completely different and was NOT what happened.
This again proves that most religious nuts have never even opened an elementary science book.
Oh, look, it's a tree! Proof of god. There's a star! Proof of god. It's dark at night and light in the daytime! Proof of god. Tide goes in, tide goes out! Proof of god. Internet! Proof of god. Stink bug! Proof of god.
It must be nice to have all the answers. Pity it isn't the RIGHT answer....
@Lord Gibbon:
You'd think the Bible was the one thing this idiot would know.
Nah, fundies almost never do. It's easier to just listen to other people telling them what's in there and fill the gaps with fanfiction.
EDIT: Two typos in one sentence, time for coffee...
From most parts of the world it was NOT able to cover the sun exactly, silly.
If you hold up your thumb towards the sun, it will ALSO be able to "cover" the sun exactly.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
