The Miracle of Adam and Jesus

As a non-Muslim, and no disrespect intended for anyone's beliefs, but I would first wonder whether it was evidence of intentional editing.

I find it interesting that you ask for proof of Lachi's wondering and yet ask for no proof for samirfaithful's claims of miraculous numerology. Could you tell me why?

Actually, I didn't ask you if his numbers lined up. I asked you why you didn't question his claim that these things amounted to a miracle. The question still stands. Do you feel that these things amount to a miracle?

No, you asked me why I didn't ask for proof of samirfaithful's claims of a miracle.  I responded by pointing out that I actually verified all the claims made in his post.  The names of Adam and Jesus indeed appear 25 times and the 19th occurrence of each name is indeed in the 19th surah.  This is all easily verifiable.

Now you are asking a different question.  Do I think that the alignment of Adam and Jesus' names are a miracle?  In my view, this example, by itself, is not sufficient to claim as a miracle.  It could just be due to coincidence.  If more such examples could be found, then it would be a different story.  The more examples, the less likely it is a coincidence, and hence the more likely that it is indeed miraculous.  That would require more research.

In Lachi's case, he simply made a statement and did not provide the evidence.  I don't think I was being unreasonable to ask him for proof of "intentional editing".
