I think you completely missed the point. might want to actually read what is written verses immediately hit reply and start typing in your staplemark preconception.
the numbers game I find fascinating...nice posting ops...all speculation of course, but a nice set of coincidences...
why just aliens though...or god...could be a time traveller, a dimensional being, a spark of genius clarity, or just a heavy set of misinterpretations and coincidences..
Does God desire to destroy the people he created? Would He really command people who live at ease in a certain place to commit ungodliness, so that they would be worthy of punishment, together with the poor who live among them? Is this compatible with God’s justice, holiness and faithfulness? How could anyone ascribe to God such infamy, injustice and ungodliness?
The late Maulana Muhammad Ali wrote:
197b. Three things are prohibited in pilgrimage, rafath, fusuq and jidal. Rafath means foul, unseemly, immodest or obscene speech (LL). Fusuq, according to a saying of the Prophet, signifies abusing (Rz). Jidal signifies contending in an altercation or disputing or litigating (LL). The pilgrimage represents the final stage of spiritual progress, and hence the pilgrim is enjoined not to speak words which should be a source of annoyance to anybody. Perfect love of God requires perfect peace with man; hence no offence should be caused to any man. The doing of good to others is recommended instead in the words whatever good you do, Allah knows it. (Source: *, *)
Now intercourse itself is obviously not obscene or lewd when done within the confines of marriage between a husband and wife. God is the one who created us as sexual beings and sanctioned sexual intimacy in the first place. It is therefore obvious that the Quran is referring to and sanctioning obscene sexual acts, lewd sexual behavior, acts that are unnatural and abnormal. In this verse, the Quran does not use the common word for intercourse, nikkah (e.g. S. 2:230, 4:22, 33:53; cf. this article), but rafath. In other words, Allah is explicitly permitting Muslim men to commit obscene, lewd conduct with their wives!

I wanted to add that the laws given to the people also show that the book was written by a higher intelligence, especially the ones relating to hygiene. People didn't even know what germs were at the time... But they were commanded to:
1. Wash their hands, face, feet, nose, mouth, and ears 5 times a day.
2. Wash their bottoms with water. Women also have to wash with water 5 times a day on their period.
3. Pigs were forbidden (like in Judaism) because the pig's genome is too similar to human beings so diseases can spread easily (swine flu, for example).
4. Sex is limited to married couples only, to hinder the spread of STDs. This is why AIDS is not a large threat to Islamic countries which are devout.
The Bathing Process
Bathing in ancient Greece was an important aspect of everyday life (Hornblower 236). Based on ancient texts it seems Greeks looked fondly on being clean. A clean man was looked on with respect sometimes to the point of appearing god like.
Homer states in The Odyssey that "a Sicilian handmaid bathed great-hearted Laertes in his house and anointed him oil and about him cast a cloak" where upon Laertes "came forth from the bath and his dear son marveled at him, seeing him in presence like unto the immortal gods" (Hom. Od. 24. 370). In this respect, one can gather that unclean people were of lesser class. Aristophanes states that "men of such frugal habits... never shave, nor use your precious ointment, nor go to baths to clean themselves" (Ar. Nub. 835ff).
[55:33] O you jinns and humans, if you can penetrate the outer limits of the heavens and the earth, go ahead and penetrate. You cannot penetrate without authorization. [55:34] Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny? [55:35] You get bombarded with projectiles of fire and metal, and you cannot win.
[67:5] We adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and guarded its borders with projectiles against the devils; we prepared for them a retribution in Hell.
It is also known that muhammed plagiarized parts of the Bible.
