Introducing an Original Method in Evaluating the Scientific Miracle of the Qur’an

Proving the miraculous nature of the Qur’an as one of the methods tobelieve in the Qur’an as a divine text has always attracted the attentionof the researchers of the Qur’an; nevertheless, the published efforts onthis subject are facing numerous methodological challenges. This researchattempts to introduce a new and original method exempt from thechallenges of the present methods by utilizing some of the techniquesin mathematical sciences, logic and statistics. This scientific case-basedmethod rates the effective parameters in the recognition of scientificmiracle for one case. Accordingly, it will calculate the certainty of eachcase and proceeds to combine the ratings of various cases of scientificmiracle to calculate the degree of certainty of the divine nature of thebook based on those results. In combining the ratings, a threshold willbe determined based on human belief behavior. An advantage of thismethod is that it is extra-religious, data driven, quantitative, applicableto all texts, and generalizable to the entire content.
