Re: Koran boy's skin mystery
Greetings,
If you believe this is a miracle from god, you will, quite literally, believe anything.

(2:118) The ignorant people say, "Why does not God talk to us or why does not a Sign come to us?"
*117 The people before them also talked like this, for all (who swerve from the Right Path) have the same mentality.
*118 We have already shown clear Signs to those who believe;
*119
The question dealt with here concerns the demand for a sign that would convince them of the Truth. In response to this it is pointed out that many signs do exist, but all such signs are of profit only to those who are inclined to believe. As for those who are bent on disbelief, what sign can be shown to them, and to what avail?
A belief is something that you accept as true.. I accept as true that during meiosis the nucleus divides into four nuclei each containing half the chromosome.. it seems strange and even mathematically illogical, yet it is a belief based on observation, indeed with this little boy the belief is based on observation.. but it is no matter for those who are faithful, it
is just one more sign, as well it is of no matter to those who are faithless because surely there is a 'natural explanation' though they fail in general to define the baseline of 'natural' which in and of itself is an imaginary line based on what folks consider 'common standards' -- if things happen 'right' all the time that is natural, and there is no deeper probe into for instance what it is exactly what makes a nucleus divide into four nuclei or likewise what makes a cell go into caspase-mediated cell death 'apoptosis' it is just what happens, it is natural.. if you believe that, quite literally you'll believe anything!
all the best!
