Absolutely untrue. Any planet could technically have a satellite that causes the total eclipse effect we see - all it needs is to be the right size.

You think it is a sign of God because it is unique in this solar system??? There's only two planets in the range of the sun that would allow a satellite to fit the correct size. That one of those two planets has a satellite which does so seems pretty unremarkable. I can't imagine any reason for you thinking that it is a sign of God.

For all planets past Mars, the sun appears as a tiny dot. Perhaps some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn do create eclipses... it would be difficult to know given that they do not views out of their atmospheres from their inner surfaces.
Did you not just read what I wrote? It is very possible that Jupiter and Saturn do feature eclipses. And please do not patronize me... I am very aware of the celestial bodies in our solar system.
It's unique in this solar system, which is the point. We simply don't know enough about the universe to know whether it's unique in the universe or not. We can't base something like this (that we simply don't know) on probabilities. It's unique in the solar system which is amazing enough in and of itself.
Not in the slightest. Remember I said "a Creator"; I didn't say which one. That's all I really need to challenge your position.

You've already been corrected about this... they are not exact matches.
Even if they were exact matches, it would prove absolutely nothing in regard to any 'god'. It's an utterly asinine non-argument.
Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

No, it's not. You say "Creator." I say "Moon God jealous of Sun God." Is that all I need to challenge your position? Of course not.

I am aware they have eclipses: the point is that they don't have eclipses like the earth/moon system. The earth/moon system is unique because the moon exactly covers the sun, making a brilliant lighting effect during a total eclipse. I'm not sure what the lighting effect would look like out from Jupiter/Saturn (due to the smallness of the sun), but they do not have a satellite that exactly covers the sun as the earth does.

Aesthetic design would be a part of a Creator's creation, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
They are virtually exact matches.
