Yes true, but what is "amazing" about this? The "palki" or whatever was floating!!! The object followed the Archimedes Principal of floatation and byuoancy. What's "amazing" about that? If I was inside a "gurudwara" and sitting in a boat, and as long as the entire room did not get filled completely with water, even I would be found floating, though perhaps not alive after some days. But "dry" certainly yes!
Also, what is to be understood from this? That Waheguru saved the book nice and dry, but let people die?
Now that to me is truly amazing, if true!

Diogenes,
you are right about scientific theory. but when palki became wet and soked water , normally it would have sunk down in water but that did'nt happend. Thats really amazing.
There are too many things in the world about which logic and sceintific theories fail.

Why are you assuming that the palki got wet and soaked with water? Moreover, if a palki that would otherwise sink, but does not if it carries a holy book, then all palkis at all times with holy books on them should not sink. Right?
So let us soak a palki with water and see it sinking. Then put the holy book on it and see if sinks or not. If it doesn't then we owe the floatation to the holy book and we need to junk the principle of buoyancy. Then everybody would carry a holy book and walk on water without sinking.
And if the palki sinks even with the holy book, then either some holy books are holier than others, or the whole thing is nothing but crap!
Besides, you didn't answer why Waahey Guru preferred to save a holy book made of paper by humans while letting the humans sink and die?

If science cannot prove something, it only means that more research is required. It only implies that there are no answers YET. It does not mean that there will be no answers ever!

I think this can be settled on Letterman's "Will it float?".

I once made a mistake, but I was wrong about it.
