Miracle

[bennyboy]

You are the one who claims that minor philosophical points represent miracles, not I. YOUR standard of miracle is "something that I don't believe anyone at that time could have known."

“Minor Philosophical Points!” Had I given any philosophical point? There are no philosophical points in my post all nine points are precisely scientific.

Okay, I will restate. Your standard of miracle is "Something that, despite being easily observed, I consider unknowable by the writers of the Quran."

Science without nature is impossible. Science without the fairy tales of dark-ages sand people is perfectly possible.

The points that I have raised in my post are not from the wonderland fairy tales. They are precise scientific facts.

I didn't say the halocline etc. were fairy tales. I'm saying the Quran is a book about a fairytale being, meant to scare uneducated desert people into banding together. Science is perfectly doable without any word in the Quran.

Let me introduce a new miracle of Quran.

The word “Land” mentioned in Quran 13 times that is 13/45 = 28.888
The word “Sea” mentioned in Quran 32 times that is 32/45 = 71.111

The approximate ratio of land to sea is 13:32 or 28.888:71.111

The author, who hypothetically was living in desert in seventh century, knew the exact quantity of water on earth and that knowledge made him capable of writing these figures in coded form.

Numbers are fun! Let's run with your revalation of a miraculous ratio and see if we can find those numbers anywhere else.

YES. Aluminum has an atomic weight of 13. Germanium has a weight of 32. And. . . holy shit! The phase diagrum of Al-Ge looks a little like a promontory of land with a big wave rolling into it. Mark 13:32 says "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." Obviously, the Muslims knew more than Mark, because of 13:32 he must be talking about throwing the land into the sea.

Wait, there's more! The great muslim historian, Ibn Khaldun, was also a brilliant mathematician, and he invented what we call the Laffer Curve. . . which also looks vaguely wavelike! And HE WAS BORN IN. . . wait for it. . . 1332.

HOLY SHIT!!! Layers in layers, everything comes up 13:32. The Quran lays it all out, as clear as crystal! We're all gonna die by tsunami!

. . . or it's just a coincidence.
