AsSalam Alaykoum 

The movie this post about can be viewed here

Something that's worth noting about similar information we receive

There should be a clear distinction between what is given to us in a form of revelation, and human efforts 

God didn't tell us Ka'aba is at the center of the earth, nor did Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH ) 
This is a human effort that's subject to being right or wrong 

I advice everyone to always check / verify information they receive with any information they receive and especially with regards to such information described as miracles, for I think there're several fake/wrong one's as there're many genuine one's 
There's probably some faked by non-muslims, which unfortunately some muslims fail into believing / spreading

But this one seems to be true after verification though

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.

No need to be sorry for wanting to show the truth Ron, 
but it seems Doo-bop and JOEBERAR won't get a laugh

I wonder where you get these coordinates from
My google earth seems to show different readings  
Ka'aba boundaries are between  21�25'21.27"N and 21�25'20.98"N 
( My bookmark is  21�25'21.11"N and  39�49'34.28"E ) 
So the difference is not 0.237 but something around  .04 degrees only , 
How much in distance would that be ? I think about 2 miles / 4.4 km ?
This I guess would make the Golden ration point within the boundaries of Makka for sure
But it doesn't stop at this
could Ka'aba itself be the location of the Golden ration point ? 
Checking here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latitude#Degree_length 
there's an interesting table that shows that the surface distance per 1� change
in latitude differ from one location to the other 
being 110.574 km at latittude 0 and 111.694 km at latitude 90 
Geography isn't my cup of tea, but I would assume since we're calculating using latitude lines that are not constant, there's a big possibility that even these 2 miles could be compensated for ?
In the movie, they are showing distance in kilometers , which is 
12348.32 and 7631.68 

This conforms with the golden ratio 
I hope someone who knows maths and geography better than me can shed more light into this 

So far, it seems pretty close to me
