Figure 22.1. Linear regression analysis for the complete sample (n=6)

have been greatly altered if dating of the creation of mankind, according to bibli-
cal scale, ignored traditional Jewish Oral Torah (namely, if X 6 would have been
assigned a different value).

22.4.2 Statistical Analysis of the Reduced Sample (observations 2 and 5
excluded)

For reasons detailed earlier, two observations, with debatable response values, have

been removed from the sample. These are observation 2 (appearance of first large-

scale structures in the universe; “sky” created) and observation 5 (first appearance
of life on Earth).
With the remaining four observations in the sample, the statistical analysis was
2
repeated. For n=4, linear correlation of 0.9998 was obtained, with adjusted R of
0.9995. For 1 and 2 degrees of freedom, the sample F-ratio value is 6064.8 with
p=0.000165. In other words, the probability of the four observations aligning
themselves on a straight line, the way they did, by chance alone (that is, were H 0
true) is less than 0.0165%.
