they have stabilised themselves the way they have is a bloody miracle though science explains it quite elegantly
Though I shortened and rounded a few numbers in the OP text, I used the most accurate numbers I could find for the calculations. Mostly the same numbers as given in the NASA stats for the given planets. Period.

All these planets interfere with each others, that they have stabilised themselves the way they have is a bloody miracle though science explains it quite elegantly, but seeing how all these planets express these ratios and geometric shapes, primes and well awesomeness, is pretty awesome.
==> Why would the synodic alignment of our nearest neighbours in space express the first four regular primes (well actually 5 since Sol would be 1) in perfect order?

Awesome yes, the universe itself is awesome, but miraculous no. What could be miraculous would be if it happened some other way, if it defied our understanding of physics and the universe and seemed genuinely random, or in some other way unexplainable. That would be more miraculous, wouldn't it?

Apart from other arguments about acurateness, surley a much better question would be...
why shouldn't it?

So because the numbers aren't perfect, that means it's perfect?
What the serious he'll have you been smoking?!

Yes... Science does explain it quite elegantly. In fact, we can test these explanations and confirm them ourselves.
That evidence only verifies that the instances in which you're referring to are naturally formed.
You even admitted that the comments that explained how physics and gravity account for this phenomena is valid. So why are you continuing to suggest it's anything else?

That would depend on what you call God or gods. Jesus says God is love. Are you saying we don't need love? Genesis 1 explains God as the Forces of Nature, and goes on to describe how this God (the Forces of the Universe) made everything in seven stages, and supposedly this process ended with the creation of two humans called Adam and Eve (there were plenty people around when Adam was made). Genesis is a riddle and it even reveals the age of Planet Earth. Supposedly God created everything in 6 stages of 1000 years each, and supposedly one day for God is like 1000 years for us. He is supposed to have rested while Adam and Eve lived and died, about 1000 years where God is resting and Adam sweating. This cycle of creation supposedly started with the creation of the Earth and ended about 6000 years ago with the creation of Adam when God would rest until Noah's kingdom was flooded. Supposedly Adam was a human clone of some demiurge calling himself Jahveh.
6000 x 365.25 x 1000 = 2 191 500 000
5777 x 365.25 x 1000 = 2 110 049 250
SUM = 4 301 549 250 years
According to Google Earth is 4 543 000 000 years old, according to Genesis and the Hebrew calendar Google's almost right. Or maybe God counts the Sabbaths too?
Where do you get 5777 from?
4 301 549 250 Is almost 4 543 000 000
Another almost number. You're only 241.5 MILLION years out on that number. Not a big deal, right?

Yes, but could we do this with any other star system out there?

Could we expect that the seemingly near perfect symmetry of the Sol system would be the rule for other solar systems?

That was my very question I made in the OP, and the very question I continued to ask throughout most of the pages of this topic. So far you have yet to answer it.
Go ahead and do it to more star systems, to the rest of the planets in this one, so on and so forth. The result is that what you've concluded is an effect of physics and gravity.

We could come up with whatever we want. You've picked and chose what information to keep and what to leave out so your preconceived conclusion was accurate. You stopped doing your calculations when the results didn't apply to your premise.
Yes, the numbers are there, but:
~ they are from a subjective perspective only
~ they assume Earths orbit means anything in the first place
~ they round to the nearest 10 in order to look less random
~ they assume magnitudes of 10 mean anything in the first place.
~ they ignore the fact that all of these orbits aren't finite, nor have they ever been
Using all this 'miracle concluding' 'logic', we can make a miracle out of anything.
It's easy when you ignore everything that goes against your theory.

No.
The answer is no.
