** | ** The word count in this miracle contradicts the word count in the previous miracle. | ||
** Why would the word count of "man" signify the number of chromosomes a man passes to his child? A man is not a male chromosome. Why doesn't Allah speak specifically about chromosomes? Is his knowledge limited? Why does his knowledge seem to be limited by the knowledge of the Arabs in the 7th century? Why he didn't say directly "There are 23 male chromosomes and 23 female chromosomes" in some Qur'anic verse to teach people what they didn't know? Why he didn't mention chromosomes in his verses on [[Embryology in the Quran|embryology]]? | |||
* Where is the miracle in the word count of "male" and "female"? Male is mentioned 12 times in the singular and female is mentioned 18 times. Does this mean that females are superior to males? | * Where is the miracle in the word count of "male" and "female"? Male is mentioned 12 times in the singular and female is mentioned 18 times.
