So u seem to think that the knowledge given from a scripture with religious commands and laws, but just happens to have for instance the word "land" mentioned through its 6,236 verses EXACTLY 13 times and the word "sea" EXACTLY 32 times, 32+13=45 13/45=28.89% and 32/45=71.11% THE EXACT PERCENTAGES of LAND AND WATER that cover our planet today, comes from some human being?
It only comes to 71% if you include the oceans, the freshwater rivers and lakes, AND the polar ice caps. Antarctica is a series of islands that is covered by glacial ice. If it wasn't covered then it would be land. That percentage is completely bullshit, because if you take out Antarctica then the world is something like 69-70% covered in water. And if the qur'an had numbers that gave you that percentage then you would calculate the world's percentage of water using that instead. And if it said 68 or 67% then you'd count the oceans on their own and say "OMG the earth's surface is 68% covered in salt-water just like god told us by stealth". Given the fact there are plenty of ways to calculate the amount of water on the surface of the earth, and they can add up to anything from 68-71% depending on how you want to add them together - ice isn't water FYI. If you are going to count all the states of water than the earth is 100% covered in water because there is water vapour in the atmosphere at every point of earth.
Here's a link that proves it: "Ice caps, Glaciers, & Permanent Snow: volume 5,773,000mi3/24,064,000km3; Percentage of Fresh Water - 68.7%; Percentage of earth's surface area: 1.74%." There is more than twice as much "water" in ice and snow as there is in freshwater rivers and lakes.
And the earth's core is not molten iron. It is an iron-nickel solid.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
