Solar Eclipse: Coincidence that sun and moon seem same size?

The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, but it is also 400 times further away.  What this means is that, when viewed from the Earth, the Moon is exactly the correct size to perfectly obscure the Sun when they are aligned during a total eclipse. Don't believe me? Check Wikipedia and calculate yourself. In the known universe Earth is the only place where total eclipses occur because of this. Just a coincidence or one of God's miracles?
To one dimension of earth it may seem both sun and moon being on the same size, but it may never be the same if the following thing would take place in other universe or planets.
