  1. The quran supposedly represents the collected 'revelations' given to muhamed in small increments over two decades, and originally, there were no chapter divisions in the original 'revelations', and there were no chapter titles. Even worse, the original chronological order of the 'revealed' ayat were completely mixed up by whoever compiled the quran in its present form. The sura are not preserved in the chronological order of being 'sent down', but collected into chapters that are roughly sorted by length of text! How silly is that! Even worse, the early writers described enormous losses of quran verses, and qurans with very different numbers of sura. Some parts were eaten by tame sheep! Even worse, there are many different quran versions on sale in the world today (Hafs, Warsh, Al-Duri, etc.) with tens of thousands of text variants between them. The number tricks shown with the common Hafs quran fail when tried with other arabic qurans. And in any case, what significance are such number tricks? Reading the text itself shows it is largely nonsense, and much of it clearly borrowed from other sources (although the scribes consistently got the stories wrong).
