Before dealing with the topic of the Crooked 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 Crooked is mentioned 16 times in the Bible and nine times in the Quran, i.e. the Bible mentions the Crooked about twice as does the Quran

In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times (word-wise) and twice (subject-wise) than the Quran to talk about the Crooked.

20 Or crookback, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
