How do we know that? We haven't had seen all the planets in the universe yet had we?

the sun is 400 times the size of the earth's moon, 400 times further away from earth than the moon, yet they look both proportionally the same size in our sky?
wow, not heard that one before!

You don't know that. Many scientists think that there is life on other planets, but space travel is so hard that we haven't found any yet.
I don't see why this wouldn't be a coincidence. I mean, I know some religions but religious significance on lunar and solar eclipses, but I don't think Christianity does. So I'm not even sure what you're getting at.
We evolved in this environment, so it would make sense that we would consider it aesthetically pleasing.
Why wouldn't it be? You're basically saying that there are good things in the world, and thus there is a God. But chances are you would not accept the existence of things like war, famine, and natural disasters as proof that there is not a God. Both arguments would seem to cancel each other out.
The ability to heal and recover from illness is obviously evolutionarily advantageous, as creatures who could not heal from wounds or recover from illnesses would be rapidly removed from the gene pool.
Emotions are the result of chemical processes in the brain, and explainable as a result of evolutionary processes. And if you're giving God credit for emotions, he's also responsible for hatred, envy, lust, greed, and the like.
Why wouldn't it be? I'm not even sure what the argument here is.
For one thing, even though the percentage of atheistic scientists is higher than the average population, scientists have never been exclusively atheistic. And I only know of one prominent scientist who has converted from atheist because of that, and he became a Deist, not a Christian. Also keep in mind that virtually all scientists accept evolution, but those of them who are not atheists (a good number) see no conflict between evolutionary science and their own religious beliefs.
Also, the process of evolution is well understood on a genetic level.
I know how it came to be. It came to be through the well understood process of evolution.
Again, I don't see why it couldn't be a coincidence. All those things came into being via evolution, which science understands perfectly well.
All of these are highly debatable points. For instance, even though I am a devout Christian I have never personally witnessed a miracle. And while many of the civilizations and locations in the Bible are accurate, many of the events in it are undeniably fictional, others exaggerated for purposes of propaganda. You have no solid proof of any of this.
I'm not even sure what you're arguing here. No, I don't think it's a coincidence that plants produce seeds. That's how they reproduce. And humans could hardly have evolved if we could not eat the food on Earth. Agriculture is a human invention, not a divine miracle.
This isn't a Christian site. You should really check your copypasta for relevance.
It is a matter of historical contingency that we use the Julian calender. Other cultures use completely different calenders that have nothing to do with Christianity. And nothing of note happened 2010 years ago. Jesus was probably born around the year 3 B.C.E.
Final verdict: 2/10
This is weak, even for anti-atheist copypasta. A good number of your arguments don't really make sense at all, and some of them seem to be saying that the existence of good proves the existence of God without recognizing that by that logic the existence of evil disproves the existence of God. That doesn't make much sense.
Instead of telling atheists how stupid they are, you might try feeding the poor, healing the sick, comforting the dying and other such worthy pursuits. This is far more likely to convince atheists that Christianity can be a force for good in the world and that it is worthy of their respect than your current methods, and I recommend that you give it a shot.

The numbers are off, but what I think he's trying to get at is that the sun and moon are the right size and distance to allow for total lunar and solar eclipses, which is true.

Even better is when they don't look the same size I hate that "Random makes no sense" idea they dump on everyone. I'd like to know why a god that's fixated on us puney imperfect humans would make billions and billions of planets that have no effect on anything slightly linked to us and for all we know at the time, made none of them livable.

Hey jesuslover:
How do you know that Christians are right, and not Hindus, Muslims, or Pastafarians?
