Peace jonny_k,
JK- Beucase it would destroy the verse symmetry as ive pointed out at http://www.quranmiracles.com/19/19read.asp?id=38 and also take a look at pt2 12, 13,14,15 and 43 and 44 in particular at http://www.submission.org/tampering.html . Youll need to look at all the pts on tht site and not just the history which is just for the sunnis/shias to take heed as RK once said "the best way to expose any religious folk is to do it using their own books". thts why RK included hadith. non sunni/shia were supposed to focus only on the numerical structure. GOD Bless!
Symmetry can be preserved by selectively removing two verses from various chapters and has little to do with 19. Why not add all the whole numbers and occurrences or add all fraction occurrences to whole numbers? This is cherry picking outcomes and with numerous combinations eventually you’ll get hits.
Here’s an example of replacing Allah in BiSM ALLaH AL-RaHMaN AL-RaHYM...
BiSM Bă'DălMďmKăf AL-RaHMaN AL-RaHYM

http://www.submission.org/tampering.htmlThe committee of scribes finally came to Sura 9, and put it in its proper place. One of the scribes suggested adding a couple of verses to honor the Prophet. The majority of scribes agreed. `Ali was outraged. He vehemently maintained that the word of God, written down by the hand of His final prophet, must never be altered.
Where is the above hadith saying one of the scribes wanted to add a couple of verses and majority agreed? They talk as if they were there video taping the events even describing peoples emotions. Or is the above a fabrication by submission.org to deceive readers – shall we examine every hadith on this?
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/061.sbt.htmlLook, here’s another suspect verse from the same Abi Khuzaima...
Volume 6, Book 61, Number 510:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman came to Uthman at the time when the people of Sham and the people of Iraq were Waging war to conquer Arminya and Adharbijan. Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the people of Sham and Iraq) differences in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said to 'Uthman, "O chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Quran) as Jews and the Christians did before." So 'Uthman sent a message to Hafsa saying, "Send us the manuscripts of the Qur'an so that we may compile the Qur'anic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you." Hafsa sent it to 'Uthman. 'Uthman then ordered Zaid bin Thabit, 'Abdullah bin AzZubair, Said bin Al-As and 'AbdurRahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. 'Uthman said to the three Quraishi men, "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Qur'an, then write it in the dialect of Quraish, the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue." They did so, and when they had written many copies, 'Uthman returned the original manuscripts to Hafsa. 'Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Qur'anic materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt. Said bin Thabit added, "A Verse from Surat Ahzab was missed by me when we copied the Qur'an and I used to hear Allah's Apostle reciting it.
So we searched for it and found it with Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-Ansari. (That Verse was): 'Among the Believers are men who have been true in their covenant with Allah.' (33.23)
