This is actually the same "miracle", because the defining property of the Golden Ratio (phi) is that if A/B=phi, then (A+B)/A=phi. The same can be said for claim about the solstice lines: without going into the details, the solstice positions can be mathematically derived from the latitude. But I'm afraid Allah is not a very good surveyor -- He is out by about sixteen miles. The angular distance between the poles is 180 degrees. If you divide that by phi you get 111.246 degrees, or 21.246 degrees north latitude. Unfortunately, Mecca is at 21 degrees 29 minutes, or 21.483 degrees. The difference is 0.237 degrees, which works out to about 16 miles. The Golden Ratio Point of the World is well outside the boundaries of Mecca. Sorry. P.S.: Kaalawai Beach in Honolulu is within a few hundred yards of it, though. Better climate, too. Edited by Ron Webb - 20 April 2009 at 6:48pm |

If the Muslim world were to control the main stream media, I bet the Muslim population would be increasing in leaps and bounds.
As it is the information in the internet in regards to the Miracles of Allah Our Creator, is spreading like wild fire catching not only laymen, but intellectuals who made use of their intellect. For example the splitting of the moon which scientist had recently found out and was stated clearly in Surah Al-Qamar.
And Ron if the Muslim scientists have the power in the mainstream media like the Zionists scientists, I bet, this news would have been a source of conversion to Islam, for many non-Muslims.

I am familiar with the alleged "splitting of the moon", but to what recent finding are you referring? |

Ron,
all of this is a bit too much for my head now, as it has been years that I studied university. One thing that does come to mind which is very related to this is (regardless if this is really so or just a coincidence) the magnetic poles of the earth are not permanent. I learned that while being a geology student. In other words they are constantly, slowly though, changing and that the few miles difference you calculated could be due to just that?

The magnetic poles do move, but that has nothing to do with latitude and longitude. You could argue continental drift, but that's far too slow; and anyway, is the Miracle of the Kaaba some passing thing that was true for a short time and then drifted off? Is that the best Allah could do? |
