We created you, so why do you not confirm the truth? Have you thought about the sperm that you ejaculate? Is it you who create it or are We the Creator? (Qur'an, 56: 57-59)

you can visit this site to learn more about THE MIRACLE OF HUMAN CREATION

To me it seems very likely it was, hence the inclusion in the Qur'an which just reproduces those folk tales and legends that for all we know were common among those who sat around a fire watching their sheep and telling such tales. The Greeks were telling stories about Troy 1400 years after the Trojan War (if there was one) - do you think they had all read Homer?! If those towers were such a distinguishing feature, they would of course be included in the legend.

Space images taken by NASA reveal a mysterious ancient bridge in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. The recently discovered bridge currently named as Adam's Bridge is made of chain of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long.

The bridge's unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the a primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge's age is also almost equivalent.
This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken place in treta yuga (more than 1,700,000 years ago).
In this epic, there is a mentioning about a bridge, which was built between Rameshwaram (India) and Srilankan coast under the supervision of a dynamic and invincible figure called Rama who is supposed to be the incarnation of the supreme.

This information may not be of much importance to the archeologists who are interested in exploring the origins of man, but it is sure to open the spiritual gates of the people of the world to have come to know an ancient history linked to the Indian mythology.

Rather puts those lost cities in perspective, hmm ? The Ramayana was first written down around 300 BCE.

Tsk, tsk. No comments about what must have been an amazing divine revelation? How could those early Sanskrit writers have possibly have known about this when modern science in the form of the shuttle has only just discovered it? It couldn't be just "ancient history linked to the Indian mythology".. even if the Hare Krishnas, of all people, think it might be? Could it?

With far too many of these so-called miracles the human factor is dismissed in favour of divine intervention far too easily.

Not really. You make it sound clinical and deliberate and it really isn't. The atheistic element can be just as prone to the same thing in reverse (go read John Dawkins!)

For many of the islamic 'scientific miracles' there is certainly a case for presenting them as just that, miracles; as representing knowledge that could not possibly have been known in Mohammed's day or at the very least could not have been known to him. Most are very interesting to ponder and cannot be totally dismissed.

Likewise, there is always a case why they may not be 'miracles'. This seems to fall into two types, either those where the knowledge supposedly 'unknowable' was probably nothing of the sort, or those where the verse concerned requires so much 'interpretation' if examined objectively that one or more alternatives, often much more plausible in the context concerned, are rejected far quicker than they should be.

If there were indeed any 'proof' either way most rational people would accept it. But there is none no matter how many times both atheists and theists type the word. Evidence, yes, and how convincing you find points raised on one side or the other is, like most things, pretty much conditioned by the 'belief' position you had to start with. But proof, none. As I keep saying it's all a matter of faith, not proof. And there really isn't anything wrong with that. Personally I find a good faith-based argument, particularly one based around excellent moral and spiritual teachings, far more impressive than dodgy 'scientific' parallels.
