ADDRESSING THE AGNOSTICS AND THE NAYSAYERS
some Proof:

Qur'an was revealed 1400 years ago to the Comforter, Prophet Muhammad ( may peace and blessings be upon him). It was Revealed piecemeal by ArchAngel Gabriel. Is it possible for a Scripture that was revealed piecemeal to have such a precise statistical count of apparent polarities??? Can human conscientious design produce what is deemed the highest linguistic perfection as well as striking proportionate measures???


Check out these amazing statistics!

sea = 32/(32+13) = 32/45 = 71.1% of the earth
land = 13/(32+13) = 13/45 = 28.8% of the earth

In case you are wondering...the earth is not really 75% water as popculture dictates. I've also checked every anti-islamic website to see if these figures are debated. They are not. Thats unusual, considering how antsy and opportunistic these polemicists tend to be.

Has it occured to you that the authors of the Qur'an may have done this deliberatly? Counting words is not that hard (and does not really qualify as statistics).

It's like saying, hey all these Haiku poems have exactly 17 syllables. Wow, what are the chances of that?!

or

Hey all these Limericks have exaclty five lines, and the last words of the first two lines and the last lines all rhyme, and the last words of the 3rd and 4rth lines rhyme with each other. And that is the case in all the limericks known. Astounding!

It's not like the Qur'an (or the Bible for that matter) was not edited.

River

no. It is not deliberate. First of all, the Qur'an is considered greater than the whole of the arabic language (by arab muslims and christians) and is unanimously considered an unparalleled arabic linguistic masterpiece.

Secondly, the Qur'an speaks of the Big Bang, the "Big Crunch" the Reduction of the Earth's mass, the death of the Sun, that Noah's ark Flood was regional, not global, accurate portrayal of stages of Embryology, that plants have gender , the expansion of the Universe, that life is made from water... ....the Bible says world created in 7 days, the Quran says in 6 ERAS !


ooooh wow, what are the chances of that !!! HEHE must be clever editing! Astounding...Hehe

River,

Out of curiosity, are you familiar with the Bible Codes? The Qur'an is not the only holy book that claims numerological support. Do you think the Bible Codes are accurate, and if not, why not?

River

Yes I am . And I am absolutely familiar with the limitations of Numerology......The " Quantitative" arguments for Qur'an does not resemble numerology at all. The Qur'an is measured out. Theres no way around it.


The Bible Code is customized...and made to fit . The set of codes used for the Bible Code is random. This is not how the Quran works.

So? Am I missing something? AS Groucho Marx (PBUH) once observed: "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." The same goes for a brain.

River

yes it is empty and dark within our skull. However, the statistic presented is of symbolic significance. ...i.e " the Light of Intellect"...

Muad'Dib

Okay, I apologize because I think I'm completely missing your meaning here, but...exactly what is the point of the above list? Is it supposed to be showing or proving something?

River

For some people, the list is proving sumthing ....for others it is proving nothing......However, it is interesting at the least.

Muad'Dib

Um...what does it prove to those who do see it as proving something? Sorry if I've missed you here...
