Hello,
New to the forum and have some big questions I want opinions on. I've been researching some claimed numeric "miracles" in the Quran and can't seem to find many second opinions/rebuttals on them. I've got many but I'm going to start with one and go from there. Check out this link http://lifecheat.blogspot.com/2011/04/up...s.html?m=1 . An example of a numeric miracle is given:
1. Number of letters it is based on are 19 (total number in Bismillah, the opening verse )
2. The length of the number below is a monstrous 114 digit long
3. The opening verse itself is repeated 114 times in the Quran which is a multiple of 19
4. The number below itself is divisible by 7
5. The reverse of this number is also divisible by 7, what are the odds on just this alone
6. The number itself mirrors the occurrences of Bismillah in the Quran chapter by chapter. 1 denotes one time 2 twice and 0 none.
7. Each natural number (1,3,5,7,8 in the quotient is repeated 19 times each exactly, that is mind blowing
8. And if there are still undecided, here is something that brings it all home. The number 15873 is staring at us in the quotient multiple times, please verify for yourself, the 15th Chapter, verse number eighty seven, third word, non other than seven (سَبْعًا)
Scroll down to see more details. This does seem like a very intricate phenomenon. What is everyone's response to this . I want SPECIFIC criticism/comments, not the generic " all books have a pattern" or that it's just coincidence, or that he's just playing with numbers. Maybe someone better with math then me could put this in perspective. I'm not a Muslim trying to promote this. Thank you
