Um, what are you talking about, I think the evil devil worshiping athiests have gotten to you, I mean come on, you really believe the planets exist?
Have you ever walked on jupiter? No
Will anyone walk on jupiter? No
Why? Because it doesn't exist.!

Its all a secular devil worshiping athiest conspiracy to try and destroy god in the class room by claiming that there are other planets out there and that earth isn't special thus making people think that they can do whatever they want.

Come on, you know it, I know it and scientists know it, they are just afraid to let god into their hearts and admit that the other planets dont exist.
I mean they can't even make up their mind how many planets there are, not too long ago it was 8 but they changed their story and made it 9, obviously signs of their flawed thinking.

Waffen. Please refrain from doing that during this topic.
You have given me in the past, and right now, very little points to respect you, or your arguments. For instance, you come up with 2 percentages (95% and 99%) that are completly unbased. How are we going to debate about 2 made up numbers?

I tell you what, unless you start to back something up instead of making random claims, and then calling me the agressor, I am not going to give you any more respect then you deserve.

bode's rule therefore God, remember?

Actually, it is about double standards. 95% rule is employed by biologists to 'prove' something, yet is quickly dismissed by you.

The numbers were not made up, I showed the calculations and the 99% and 95% come from chi-squared statistical tables.

No david, You have not. You have showed us that you wish these percentages were true. The jump between 1.239 >> = >> 99% is unbased, and doesn't prove God in any way. The same can be said for that 95% jump.

I think you are misunderstanding what a p value of 0.05 or a 95% confidence limit as you have expressed it actually means. All it means is that there is 1 chance in 20 that the results arose from chance alone. This hardly "proves" anything. It is the generally accepted criteria for statistical significance but not proof. Looked at another way, every time you run 20 studies showing a difference at a p value of exactly 0.05 you have about a 50% chance of getting one false positive. I have run enough of the type of studies that I do to have on occasion come up with statistical differences at p=0.05 in my starting groups even though assignment to the catagories was done by a valid computer randomization. Even 99% confidence only means that the there was 1 chance in 100 that the data are due to chance. Even if your statistical calculation is valid it doesn't really mean that much.

Hey wait a minute... Besides including the astroid belt ( pretty funny actually), and excluding pluto out of the equation(Its distance from the Sun ranges between 30 and 50 AU) (btw Neptune and pluto have an eleptical (not to mention tilted)orbit), Why does the number jump between mars and Jupiter? Let me geuss, it didn't fit into the equation, so we left it out?

Edit: Of course if we include the atroid belt, why not the kuiper belt as well?

I said it was considered factual or reasonable. Evolutionists accept it, but reject it when it doesn't acheive their goals.

The asteriod belt is a feature of our solar system that orbits about the sun. All planets have an elliptical orbit, AU refers to the average distance, not their perihelion or aphelion distances. The number doesn't jump between Mars and Jupiter, there is an asteriod belt in the way. Lastly, Pluto is not a planet.
