None of those claims prove anything. It’s shocking that people in this comment section use this as a justification to believe in a religion. Shocking. The Quran’s descriptions of clouds, mountains as “pegs,” deep-sea darkness, and the “expanding” heaven are poetic or observational language that classical scholars never treated as modern scientific predictions; the scientific readings were applied only after the discoveries. Word-count “miracles” (month 12 times, day 365 times, land/sea ratios, man/woman 23 times) rely on selective counting that excludes plurals, duals, and other forms, and they awkwardly match a solar calendar the Islamic tradition itself does not use. Earth’s surface is ~71% ocean/29% land, but the Quran never states those percentages. The word-count claim is popular but inconsistent across sources (sometimes 32 sea / 13 land = 71%/29%; sometimes adjusted differently). Even if the ratio roughly matches, it is another selective count. The Quran does not state the percentages; the ratio is calculated after the fact. Earth’s land/sea ratio has also changed over geological time. The chromosome claim is simply false; Counts of the relevant Arabic words (rajul/man and imra’a/woman or similar) vary by exact terms and forms; they are not cleanly 23 each in standard counts. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total). The claim equates singular word counts with haploid chromosome number, which is a stretch with no textual basis. Chromosome numbers were unknown until the 20th century and are not mentioned or implied. These are post-hoc reinterpretations, not evidence of divine scientific foreknowledge.
