Figure 8.5. Plot of log -diameter of the planets as a function of their celestial object numerical values (ONV).
All planets’ names are biblical.

Linear regression analysis was applied to the entire sample of seven biblical
names (note that planet Earth is not included since it is not mentioned in the
bible as a celestial object). For the present analysis, we obtain adjusted R-squared

of 0.9797. The model F-ratio is 291.9, which, for n = 7, is highly significant
(p<0.00001). In other words, the probability that the seven points in this analysis
would align themselves on a straight line, the way they did, by chance alone, is less
than 0.001% (vs. 0.029% for the previous analysis)!

Figure 8.5 displays the results of this analysis. Since Venus (Mazar ) and Pluto
28
(Kochav ) are close to the 95% confi dence interval limits, the previous analysis
was rerun without these observations. For this analysis, the adjusted R-squared
is 0.9998. The model F-ratio has jumped to 22421, which, for n = 5, is highly

significant (p<0.00000). In other words, the probability that the five points in this

analysis would align themselves on a straight line, the way they did, by chance
alone, is less than 0.0001% (vs. 0.001% for the previous analysis)!

Figure 8.6 shows the observations of the last analysis with 95% confidence
interval limits (hardly distinguishable from the regression line).
