All of the things you mentioned are pretty necessary for life to thrive, so you might say that if complex life is going to exist in the universe, it was bound to be on a planet that had all of those things.
Considering the relative sizes and distances of the sun and the moon is where things get a bit more freaky. The sun's diameter is roughly 400 times that of the moon. It is also roughly 400 times further away from the earth. The result is that, from our vantage, they both appear the same size in the sky. This is what makes total eclipses possible. This congruence of the two dominant objects in our sky is not at all necessary for complex life to exist. If it is only a coincidence, it is one of staggering unlikeliness.

People make much of the angles and proportions.
Shambhala in northern ca is built on all that.
They make effective apparatuses to project enegy. They go on and on about earth, moon, angles.

It's been so long for me (mid-90s) that I'd just be happy to get stoned, period.
Me too, honestly. Not that long but it's been several years. Have done some reading on varied hallucinogens and I think it's time I take some of the medicine. Want the whole shaman experience.

Sad thing is, I'm not even sure with my heart thing that I can still even get stoned. And that's not exactly something you ask your cardiologist.

Contemplating our Planet in this Vast Universe
What you described makes it sound like we are being protected. In other words, we are being looked after or taken care of by someone who makes certain that we have everything that we need.

Earth is a "Goldilocks" planet that happens to exist in a "Goldilocks" solar system of a "Goldilocks" universe and possibly even a "Goldilocks" quantum universe.

When you say it like that it does seem to have some merit to it..

I read a recent article in Nat Geo about travel to Mars. I now think we're never going there, at least not in any big numbers and those people might not make it back. Space travel is so hard.

Acid guys contemplate the mystery too but they only talk to angels so we dont get the benefit of their posts.
Ha! Only time I ever talked to angels, or some type of higher being outside of this dimension was on salvia back before it was outlawed. Acid is more of a visual trip.

Yahweh. Read the Old Testament. All of the answers to life are there.

The moon, another mystery to ponder....
This leads to the curious phenomenon below:
An eclipse is unique to the viewing platform that is the Earth...

Who built the moon???

The Moon is not a Natural Planet
This appears to be a quite ludicrous statement. How could we know the Moon is not a natural planet? The answer is that we know because it is too big, yet too light in mass; it is in the strangest position imaginable relative to the Sun and the Earth and it behaves in the most incredible way every month. What is more, it carries a whole series of quite specific messages that tell us it is an 'engineered' object.
The Moon is as old as the Earth and it has definitely been orbiting the Earth almost right from the start, so it can't be a captured asteroid but although it's made of the same 'stuff' as the Earth, it only contains carefully selected bits of that stuff.
The Moon's surface is covered with gravitational anomalies (MASCONs) that can't be easily explained and it could well be hollow at the centre (which all scientists who know about these things say should be impossible.)
The Moon is a deliberately created scale model of the Sun and it presently stands at a distance from the Sun and from the Earth which is totally outrageous in terms of the mathematical and physical results.
In fact there is very little about the Moon that isn't odd and which doesn't seem wrong for something that came into existence by chance.
I don't expect you to believe what I say just because I am saying it. I want to prove to you that the Moon was deliberately and extremely carefully engineered to do a host of jobs for the Earth.

First Message - Eclipses
Solar Eclipse
Solar eclipses happen when the shadow of the Moon covers the surface of the Sun. Total solar eclipses are very impressive and for one important reason: when seen from the Earth the disc of the Moon is exactly the same size as that of the Sun. This isn't the case but is a line-of-site effect. In reality the Sun is much more massive than the Moon but is very much further away. Solar eclipses are a near miracle and they don't happen anywhere else in the solar system. The only reason they can occur is because of two factors. The Moon is 1/400th part the size of the Sun, and the Moon is capable of standing at a position 1/400th part of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. How unlikely is that? If any message incorporated into the Moon was specifically designed to say "Look at me more closely" it is solar ecilipses.
Second Message - the Scissoring of the Moon
Sun, Earth and Moon
It is a peculiar fact that when viewed from the Earth, the Moon and the Sun perform an elegant and most unlikely dance. At times when the Sun rises at dawn as far north as it can, the Moon sets as far south as is possible. Similarly, when the Sun rises at its extreme southern position, the Moon sets at its most northerly. The same is true of Sunset and Moonrise. Hardly anyone even realises that this takes place, let alone understands just how incredible it is. There is no mathematical rule or law of physics that says this should happen. It is simply a consequence of the Moon's orbit and positioning and yet as a random chance event it seems virtually miraculous.
The book (Who Built the Moon) is very interesting.
They argue that a UCA (Unknown Creative Agency) designed the moon to assist with maintaining:
-spin of the earth (regulating the day)
-management of the tides (important for evolution as tides were higher when moon was closer to the earth in the past allowing for delivery of components of life further inland than present tides allow)
-maintaining the tilt of the earth (allowing for seasons)
Tidal locking (causing the same side of the moon to always be presented to the earth)
All of these findings are now obvious to Earthlings after said creative agency factored in the time it would take the developing life on the planet to become advanced enough to detect it and recognize the relationships...
In short, the moon is the obvious sign of intelligence beyond our planet that is literally staring us in the face...

TFW when you realize we are just remnant thoughts of a lost people on a star that has yet to blink out of existence in a empty void of a world.

I remember been 15 years old and living in Ketchikan, Alaska. Me and my best friend would drive his El Camino up to the old Ski Lodge and lay on the hood of his car smoking a big old fat bowl of Matanuska Thunder frick while watching the Auroras. Damn I miss those days.
