According to some apologists, the Qur'an describes the ratio of land to water on Earth. That is approximately 71.8% water and 29.2% land <ref>http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/8o.html</ref>. This ratio isn't stated anywhere in the Qur'an, but according to apologists, the ratio is supposed to be hidden in the ratio of word counts for the words "land" and "sea".
According to some apologists, the Qur'an describes the ratio of land to water on Earth. That is approximately 71.8% water and 29.2% land <ref>http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/8o.html</ref>. This ratio isn't stated anywhere in the Qur'an, but according to apologists, the ratio is supposed to be hidden in the ratio of word counts for the words "land" and "sea".


==The Arabic words==
The counted words are ''al-barr'' (ٱلْبَرّ) for "land" and ''al-bahr'' (ٱلْبَحْرِ) for "water", but the word ''bahr'' actually means "sea".
The counted words are ''al-barr'' (ٱلْبَرّ) for "land" and ''al-bahr'' (ٱلْبَحْرِ) for "water", but the word ''bahr'' actually means "sea". So the ratio between the word counts of these words is rather the ratio between land and seas, not land and water.  


==''Al-Barr'' - land==
==''Al-Barr'' - land==
