I admit its not a good argument for God....but it is the kind of thing I would expect to see if God exists and wants to give hints about his existence.
Its kind of funny but a couple of years after this thought occurred to me the History Channel's The Universe featured an astronomer who mused that our planet might be the only one in the entire universe where total eclipses happen and intelligent beings are there to see them. He felt it was that big of a long shot(and I did too at the time).
However we know more about solar system formation now...so while still a very huge long shot...I no longer think its such a huge long shot that there might be only one place in the entire universe where it occurs(intelligent beings coming into existence at the same time an total eclipse is possible).
