In this video I examine the claims by Edip Yüksel regarding mathematical miracles within the text of the Koran. I show that this letter/word/meaning counting is sheer apophenia/patternicity. It was only during the post editing that I came across a refutation by Dr. Bilal Philips, who, in a 105 page text, completely destroyed all the claims one by one using the very texts and sources used by Khalifa/Yüksel. Highly recommended if anyone wants to know more about this.
The number Nineteen (19) is mentioned in the Koran in 74:30
“Over it are Nineteen”
There is no context and it is totally nonsensical - yet Muslim apologists have managed to make it look like a miracle.
How?
Why?
Is it true that certain words are mentioned a certain amount of times which would indicate a mathematical miracle?
