As'salamu Alaikum brother Osama,
In any language there are no scientific miracles in the Qur’an. I do not rely on one translator, rather I go to corpus.quran, and if you have additional translations I am always interested in contrasting your translation with that of established and often referenced authors.
In any language brother Hamza has thoroughly refuted explicitly several of your asserted scientific miracles. You have offered no specific rebuttals to our refutations, only links that repeat your erroneous assertions. He has not explicitly addressed all of them but I will begin to do so myself below.
Yes, I would be interested in the PhDs and others you mention. What are their names?
I have replicated one of your asserted miracles. It took me about an hour.
Below are 114 numbers representing the number of verses in 114 chapters of a book.
105,59,48,59,20,49,29,74,28,4,22,4,7,63,18,92,13,7,12,104,8,92,74,44,86,2,85,22,19,94,18,97,18,54,53,40,72,26,42,98,13,4,26,96,74,12,99,35,71,93,33,57,103,32,46,75,98,4,99,9,14,52,44,87,46,81,93,2,101,17,17,29,30,87,40,62,40,100,104,54,85,27,41,83,70,98,30,35,65,105,64,8,96,66,69,4,47,65,72,18,31,48,64,13,100,21,46,3,63,11,103,103,98,46
The sum of these 114 numbers is 5938.
The sum of 114 verse numbers is 6555, as you have often cited.
Entering the 114 verse count number into your numerology algorithm yields a sum of even numbers equal to 5938, and the sum of the odd numbers equal to 6555.
I, an ordinary man, intentionally constructed this “numerical miracle”. Therefore, an ordinary 7th century man was capable of doing the same.
It was all good fun and I learned a few fascinating aspects of this numerological illusion, and in the spirit of Randy, I will reveal my secrets.
First the sum of the chapter numbers and the verse numbers must always equal the sum of the even numbers and the odd numbers. This is because the whole numerological algorithm is just an example of the associative property and the commutative property of addition. The algorithm adds a set of numbers using one set of associations, then adds that same set of numbers a second time using a different set of associations. Since association and commutation does not change the sum in addition of positive numbers the answers must always match no matter what the verse lengths are.
But this numerology lays out additional criteria. The individual sums must always match. Now, since 6555 is an odd number the chapter number total must match the odd number total, because a sum of even numbers is always an even number.
Likewise, the verse length total must be an even number, because it must match the total of even numbers, which is always even.
So, all I had to do was get the odd number total to match the fixed value of 6555. This was quickly and easily done by my brain. For example, if the total of the odd numbers was 121 too low, all I had to do was look for an even number of 122. I then subtracted 1 from the verse length on that row so the total would now be 121 on that row. The even/odd test automatically moved the number 122 out of the even number column and into the odd number column as 121.
This movement caused the odd number total to rise to exactly 6555. By necessity of the algorithmic structure the even number total automatically then matched the verse count total and…presto…I created a “numerical miracle”.
In real life all the scribe would have had to do is combine 2 adjacent verses in the chapter into a single verse, and he would have achieved the exact same effect.
Brother Osama, the time has come for an intellectual awakening for you. I warmly invite you to the realm of rationality and reason. I urge you to find the intellectual courage to realize the enormity of your errors, and make a change that cleanses your mind of your irrational belief in scientific miracles in the Qur’an.
I, for one, will not be gloating when you do, rather, warmly welcoming you into the light of reason.
Peace Bro
