Actually it's just barely over 1/10 of 1% difference(.10). So rounding to the nearest whole percent I have no problem saying approximately 71%. Because the 71.11% is just barely higher than 71% itself. So my argument definitely stands and still has support as true. Just a portion of 1% higher

It's not exactly 71.11%. That it's rounded does not mean it must be 71.11% when not rounded. This means either you lied when you said science proved the exact figures, or you are just dumb.

And, yeah, that makes a lot of difference between exact and approximate regardless of the magnitude of difference. Why? Because approximately 71% could mean a margin of error of +- 0.5% or +- 2% (for example). With exact numbers, because they're supposed to be exact, then if the number doesn't turn out exactly to be as argued, then the claim is exactly wrong.

So since u know how much exactly it is prove the answer from the Qur'an as wrong. That's all u have to do. Put forward ur proof to show the truth.
