*** The Qur'an needs science, so that people can figure out (after science already told it to them) the ratio from word counts. However science does not need the Qur'an at all to describe the ratio and provides actual evidence. So which one is more valuable? | *** The Qur'an needs science, so that people can figure out (after science already told it to them) the ratio from word counts.

* Ratio of word counts does not imply the ratio of occurrences of the meanings of the words in the world. This is ridiculous and not scientific in any way. | * Ratio of word counts does not imply the ratio of occurrences of the meanings of the words in the world.

** Also the word ''al-bahr'' means "sea" and not water. | ** Also the word ''al-bahr'' means "sea" and not water. How does the word "sea" include rivers? And the Qur'an talks about rivers (أَنْهَٰرٌ, ''al-anharun'') a lot. So shouldn't we add the word counts for "sea" and "river" to get the "water" percentage? | ||
** What other ratios are described this way? Is the moon / earth mass ratio described by the word counts for moon and earth? | ** What other ratios are described this way? Is the moon / earth mass ratio described by the word counts for "moon" and "earth"? | ||
* There are floods, icebergs melting.. the ratio of land to water is always changing. But the ratio of the word counts will never change. So even if the Qur'an described the ratio and it was 100% accurate, then it was wrong somewhere in history and will be wrong in the future. Shouldn't the Qur'an rather describe physical or mathematical facts, that are not changing with time? And preferably describe them in a verse and not in word counts, so that we know this is not a coincidence? | * There are floods, icebergs melting.. the ratio of land to water is always changing.

* No. The word counts for "land" and "sea" are not in the same ratio as land and water on earth. | |||
