"Are you surprised that a reminder has come to you from your Lord through a man from amongst you to warn you? Recall that he made you successors after the people of Noah, and He increased you in status. So recall God's blessings that you may succeed."

[7:69] The word Basta is erroneously misspelled in modern manuscripts. Some manuscripts indicate a correction through a tiny letter S (Sin) on top of the erroneous letter S (Sad). This spelling error came to our attention when we noticed that the frequency of the letter/number S90 in the three S90-initialed chapters were 153, rather than the expected 152 (19x8). Our study of the oldest available manuscripts supported the implied correction of the mathematical system. The mathematical system of the Quran is a verifiable and falsifiable scientific theory that is supported by textual facts, historical events, and fulfilled predictions and prophecies. See 74:1-56; 1:1; 2:1; 13:38; 27:82; 38:1-8; 40:28-38; 46:10; 72:28. Another error correction based on code 19 occurred after Edip Yuksel’s debate with a hadith professor in February 18, 2013 in Bursa. The opponent accused us of adding extra letter (Alif) to the word WAHiD. The spelling of the word WAHiD (One) was later supported by more than two dozens oldest Quranic pages and fragments held in various museums and libraries. In the oldest available menuscripts, the word is spelled with Alif, making its numerical value 19. You may find a video at Edip Yuksel’s youtube channel showing the archeological evidence supporting the code. This verse also informs us of the evolutionary stage or genetic improvement in our creation after Noah. Chapter 71, which focuses on the story of Noah, informs us of our creation on this planet in terms of evolution rather than an instantaneous one (71:14-17). See 7:69; 15:28-29; 24:45; 32:7-9).
