Meh, it would've been more impressive if the results matched the Golden Ratio to 4 or 5 decimal places, with every verse containing the word for Mekka following this pattern.
Numerology overall doesn't impress me much anyway, but you could at least make what you're arguing sound a bit more compelling. This is just a couple of "hits" (if they even are hits) in a pool largely composed of "misses". Which is something to be expected, by the way, in any book with lots of text.
Also:
Quote:In Arabic this verse contains 25 letters. From the beginning of the verse to the word alinsan (mankind) there are 15 letters, that is 25/15 = 1,6 (the Golden Number). The connection between the form * and the Gold Number is undeniable.
Problem is that 25/15, when rounded to the nearest tenth, is actually 1.7, not 1.6.
