"On 11 August 1999, large numbers of people from England to India were
fortunate to behold the awesome sight of a total eclipse of the sun. This is
possible because the moon is almost exactly the same angular size (half a
degree) in the sky as the sun-it is both 400 times smaller and 400 times
closer than the sun. This looks like design."

Considering the amount of planets, stars and galaxies out there, I'm baffled
that one would even consider stating such a thing. but you have to admire
their persistence.

 

"It is actually an ideal size to support life on earth."

 

Which is actually the reason why we're all here, it doesn't mean a thing
more.

 

Have a nice summer all!

Actually, I tried to watch the video but I was unimpressed and ended up
reading some of the comments instead, but then I had to go back and scroll
through the video . did he mention God in the video? Started sounding like a
religious debate, but then it struck me: The universe seems to be the last
thing that religious people hold on to as the ultimate "proof" of their
believes, let's get out there and spread our seed!

 

If you want to experience the universe, should instead try World Wide
Telescope which gave me tears in my eyes when I first saw it:

Never willing to pass up a good conspiracy theory, check this out:
I was watching this video and I noticed at 5:27 on the clock there was this
mysteriously bare spot on the image.

Curiously it was shaped just like a spacecraft. I'm thinking it could be a
cloaked space shuttle 20 billion light years or so away. How it got there I
have no idea. Nor do I know why it would be cloaked. But the image sure
fits...

Note the rocket engine exhaust.....

(Disclaimer: For those who don't know me please don't waste your time trying
to point out all the obvious flaws in this conjecture. It's all just in good
fun and I do not actually believe this. Still................ :-)
