• 14:0214:02, 19 May 2025 diff hist +8,454‎ Scientific Miracles in the Quran ‎ Various improvements and added section for "Heavens and Earth wept for them", a persistently popular new miracle claim.
• 02:0702:07, 19 May 2025 diff hist −2,677‎ Scientific Errors in the Quran ‎ Olivier Mongellaz recently explained the oven story. Syriac source (attributed in Syriac Targum to Hippolytus, though undateable) has Ham's wife warned by water gushing up through bread oven. Makes sense. Tafsirs similar. The word translated boiled can just mean welled up in the context of water according to Lane. Gabriel Said-Reynolds was persuaded and seems likely correct. Added details to the cosmology, historical errors, and (in more detail) parallels pages.
• 01:5001:50, 19 May 2025 diff hist −1,192‎ Historical Errors in the Quran ‎ Added image. Removed/merged oven section. Olivier Mongellaz recently explained the oven story. Syriac source (attributed in Syriac Targum to Hippolytus, though undateable) has Ham's wife warned by water gushing up through bread oven. Makes sense. Tafsirs similar. The word translated boiled can just mean welled up in the context of water according to Lane. Gabriel Said-Reynolds is persuaded and likely correct. Grammar fixes inc. many "it's" to "its" as no apostrophe for possessive its in English.
• 00:3500:35, 19 May 2025 diff hist +1,599‎ Cosmology of the Quran ‎ Better structure for mobile view. Replaced generic (and inaccurate) main image with one specific to the Quran. Updated with Mongellaz's insights re the flood waters rising through an oven (see edit to Parallels article).
