The Angular Size of the Moon and Other Planetary Satellites An Argument for Design
Faulkner, DR. 1998.  CRSQ 35(1):23-26. CELD ID 3764

Abstract
It previously has been argued that the circumstances of total solar eclipses for the earth-moon system are unique in the solar system and that this suggests design. This is reexamined using the latest data on the many satellites now known to exist in the solar system. This argument is shown to be stronger than ever. Some comments about the design argument in astronomy are made. It is suggested that discussion of the definition and application of the design argument be pursued.
