314 COINCIDENCES IN THE BIBLE AND IN BIBLICAL HEBREW

A nonlinear relationship is evidenced by the plotted points. Proceeding as in
the previous example (namely, plotting diameters on a log scale) we obtain Figure
23.4.

Figure 23.4. Log-diameter ("LogD") of the planets (n=9) as function of their Object Numerical Values (ONV).
All planets’ names are biblical. Earth (ONV=291) is somewhat deviant.

A linear relationship surfaces, unexpectedly and with no logical explanation.
Statistical linear regression analysis was applied to the entire sample of nine points
to ascertain whether the linear relationship is significant. With n=9, a correlation
(ρ) of 0.9825 is obtained, with model F-ratio of 195.2, which is highly significant
(p<0.000002). Confidence interval limits (95% confidence) are also plotted in
Figure 23.4. Since Earth (ONV=291) lies somewhat below the lower confidence
limit, the previous analysis is re-run, excluding Earth. Results are plotted in Figure
23.5.
