@SWORD of GOD,
[SIZE="3"]# 3: Quran on The Lowest Area on Earth[/SIZE]
Allah, the Almighty, says in the Noble Quran:
"Alif*Lam*Mim. The Romans have been defeated in the lowest land, and they, after their defeat, will be victorious within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allah,(before the defeat of the Romans by the Persians, and after, i.e. the defeat of the Persians by the Romans). And on that Day, the believers (i.e. Muslims) will rejoice (at the victory given by Allah to the Romans against the Persians). With the help of Allah, He helps whom He wills, and He is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.(It is) a Promise of Allah (i.e. Allah will give victory to the Romans against the Persians), and Allah fails not in His Promise, but most of men know not." [The Noble Quran; Ar-Rum: 1-6]
The Scientific Fact:Facets of Scientific Inimitability:
There are two miracles in these verses;
1) the Ever-Glorious Quran gave glad tidings of victory to the Romans in a course of three to nine years. After seven years, the prophecy of the Ever-Glorious Qur'an came true. This Roman victory coincided with the victory of the Muslims in the Battle of Badr. To the Arab disbelievers, the victory of the Romans seemed impossible and they started mocking the Muslims and ridiculing them about these Quranic words. When the prophecy came true, they were disappointed and humbled.
2) They told us about a geographical fact that was not known to anyone at that time. The verses said that the Romans would lose the battle in the lowest area of land which means that it is the nearest place to the Arabian Peninsula and is the lowest spot on earth; it is 1,312 feet (around 400 meters) below sea level. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, satellites have recorded that it is indeed the lowest spot on earth. Historical facts testify that the battle took place at the lowest spot on earth; near to the Dead Sea. At that time, it was impossible for anyone to know this was the lowest area on earth.
Once again, how did the author of the Quran know this scientific statement, about the lowest spot on earth?
Perhaps the author of the Quran was a genius or a scientist. Well, I don't think that could be a possibility, becuase no matter how smart you are, you'll never be able to discover the the lowest spot on earth, unless you had these advanced modern scientific methods/capabilities with planes and satellites which did not exist 1400 years ago, so those could not be a possibility. Perhaps the scientific fact is observable. Well, this is not true either. Moreover, this information about the uinverse never pre-existed in history.
Finally, perhaps it was a very good guess. Well, it is a possibility. Due the vast earth surface area, the possibility for this guess to be correct can be less than 1:10,000. However, If it was a good guess then we'll say it was just a 1/1000 chance if that was the case - or coincidence, we can look at it that way.
[SIZE="3"]Therefore, the chances that this guess will be correct is 1/1000.[/SIZE]
Also, the possibility for the prophecy of the author of the Quran regarding the Roman victory in a course of three to nine years to come true can be said to be 50%, i.e. 1/2.
[SIZE="3"]Therefore, the chances that this guess also will be correct is 1/2.[/SIZE]
[SIZE="3"]The probability of all the two guesses i.e. the lowest spot on earth and the prophecy regarding the Roman victory being correct is 1/1000 x 1/2 = 1/2000 which is equal to about 0.00005 (or 0.05%)[/SIZE]
