> “In one day, there occurred too many astronomical events for it to be coincidence. This date was a new moon, the new moon was at apogee, there was a solar eclipse, the Sun entered into the constellation Capricorn, it was the winter solstice"

Solar eclipses by definition happen on a new moon, so that's not much of a coincidence. "The sun entering capricorn" is just arbitrary bullshit, not a precise measurement, but surely it has to either always fall on the solstice or never? Eliminate those duplicates, and it is looking a lot less impressive.
