I know Michael read alot, so may be it inspired him for the hoax !
(Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then He said to him: "Be!" - and he was.) [Al-Imran: 59].In examining this verse, we notice that God Almighty tells us that Jesus Christ, like Adam (pbuh), was created without a father. Similarly, both were Prophets, and both presented a miracle in the way in which their exemplary morals and behaviour were different from those of ordinary people.
What is interesting is that this connection between Jesus and Adam is not merely confined to the meaning of the verse as explained above. This connection even exists with regards to the various mentions of both Jesus and Adam in the Qur’an.
To explain further, if we look for the word ‘
Jesus’ in the Qur’an, we find that it is mentioned
25 times in the Qur’an. Similarly, if we look at the mention of ‘
Adam’ in the Qur’an, we find, again, that it is mentioned exactly
25 times!
Now, reflecting on the various verses where Jesus and Adam are mentioned, we find that the previous verse – (Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah is the likeness of Adam) - is the only verse in the Qur’an where
both Jesus and Adam were mentioned collectively. In no other verse do the two names meet; this gives the verse a pivotal importance in our discussion.
Furthermore, and amazingly enough, the number of times the word Adam was
mentioned from the beginning of the Qur’an up to this crucial verse is 7 times, and the number of times Jesus was mentioned from the beginning of the Qur’an up to this verse is also
7 times!
To better illustrate this beautiful consistency, each of the
25 verses mentioning Jesus and Adam are listed below
in their order of appearance in the Qur’an:
1 - And he taught Adam all the names
2 - He said : O Adam! Inform them of their names
3 - Prostrate yourselves before Adam
4 - O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden
5 - Then Adam received Words from his Lord
6 - Indeed! God chose Adam
7 - Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah is the likeness of Adam8 - Recite to them the truth of the story of the two sons of Adam

11 - O Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you
12- O Children of Adam! Let not Satan deceive you
13 - O Children of Adam! Look to your adornment at every place of worship
14 - O Children of Adam! If there come to you Messengers
15 - And (remember) when thy Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam
16 - Prostrate to Adam
17 - Verily We have honoured the Children of Adam
18 - Prostrate to Adam
19 - of the offspring of Adam
20 - And indeed We made a covenant with Adam before
21 - Prostrate yourselves to Adam
22 - O Adam! Verily, this is an enemy to you and to your wife
