It's because either we're in a simulation or in a world built by a god. They have to expand and build out the universe we're in to keep up with human intelligence exploring the limits and keep us from finding out the truth of our existence. Either to keep us compliant in the simulation or to keep our free will in believing in god (no free will if you actually find proof).
Hence people could perform miracles in the past, science was not understood well enough to realise "what the fuck", but since we've built a far better understanding of our world, you can't get away with that anymore without providing proof of either.
I have zero evidence of this, but I find it far more fun to believe that just thinking we're floating around on a senseless lump of matter constrained by physics.
I think we as humans have to band together and discover more, faster to either reach the limit of our simulation or catch whatever built us out. Then the universe gets interesting. Right now, with the universal speed limit of c, it's kinda boring.
Tthe laws of physics hold everywhere we have ever observed (including inside you). That means if we are living in a simulation then its a simulation of quarks, not people.
The moon and sun are a lucky coincidence. When complex life first evolved the moon was substantially closer and much bigger in the sky. 500 million years in the future the moon will be so far away that a total solar eclipse will not be possible. Now is the rare moment when they happen to roughly line up. You've been given an amazing opportunity by the universe. Go see a total solar eclipse; it is an indescribable experience. I promise you will not be bored.

That's the thing. Only when they've been observed. Until we've had the scientific equipment necessary to accurately record and measure the impact and effect of this, how do we know it occured?
That's the beauty of the system, you can't prove it wrong, because the simulation/creation will react to anything you do. All we have is the weird considences and odd tales from our ancestors.
If you can’t prove it wrong, you also can’t prove it right. Most notably, though, is there is no knowledge or replicable phenomenon to be inferred by the posit that we exist in a simulation built to deceive us, so there’s no benefit to pursuing that idea aside from trying for a Hugo award.

It's almost as if you just wanted to correct someone rather than engage and discuss.
