The sun and moon aren't the same size in the sky, just very close. The moon is slightly smaller. It's just a coincidence, which seems significant because it's a coincidence and it has an intimate relationship with humanity. You probably don't wonder why jupiter's moons have subsurface oceans due to tidal forces heating their interiors, even though I'm sure that's also very unlikely and based on them being in very precise locations. It just doesn't seem significant to us here on earth, cause hey it's just jupiter's stupid moons who cares?
The amazing thing to me is that we were born on a planet this beautiful and we have minds capable of appreciating that beauty and considering it and putting it in a broader context. I bet those stupid birds living in beautiful tropical paradises in south america are just like duhhhh give me bugs.
