      So our eyes just happen to be flawed enough to not make it out.

      I mean there literally was an annular (moon smaller than sun) eclipse just a few weeks ago going through the US, with plenty of images in media.

    The moon’s orbit is slowly drifting away from Earth. It just so happens that we exist at (almost) the perfect point in time for the moon and sun to appear the same size in our sky.

    Some people will see this as evidence of an intelligent design.

    What if instead, this coincidence was in part responsible for our development as a species?
