"You obviously do not know what an Astronomical Unit is. (It is considerably smaller than the scale of the solar system as a whole.) Look it up; you might actually learn something..."

I know what an AU is and the excerpt I quoted is not enhanced by your addition. There is no evidence for any expansion of the solar system. That experiment simply proved it on the scale of 1 AU.

"At least scientists -- even Christian ones -- (unlike your ilk) have the intellectual honesty and integrity to admit and publish the limits of their abilities, their measurements, their data -- and their understanding..."

Then I await you and your ilk's evidence for the observed expansion of the solar system.

Ilk. That's a really polite word.

TXnMA and I have both written to you that expansion is observable on an intergalactic scale, not on a scale as small as the solar system. What part do you not understand? Read this.

At Earth’s surface, the outward acceleration away from the planet’s center is but a fraction (0.1 with 29 zeros after the decimal point) of inward gravitational acceleration — but it’s present.

Do you realize how tiny a number 0.000000000000000000000000000001 is? And, as I explained to you before, on a local scale, chemical and gravitational bonds are much, much stronger than the expansion rate.
