The Lips in Bible and Quran
Before dealing with the topic of the Lips in Quran versus Bible versus sciences, it is mandatory to remember that the total words in the Bible are 788,280 while the total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise.
The Lips are mentioned 121 times in the Bible (KJV) and once in the Quran, i.e. the Bible mentions the Lips 121 times more than the Quran
In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times (word-wise) and 121 times (subject-wise) than the Quran to talk about the Lips.
