This article is making speculation about the Quran and how it is preserved in a tablet and that God promised to preserve that tablet. No, God promised to preserve the Quran. Who would God have to guard the tablet from? Angels? Angels don't have free will, so they cant tamper with it.
And the numerical miracle argument. Perhaps that verse was added there on purpose by God to point to something we haven't yet discovered. Like for example, there are verses in the Quran that don't have Bismillah in the beginning, and when you number those verses in order, you get a number divisible by 7--> So what was initially thought of as a mistake, was on purpose. This could be another one of these things.
But I don't have enough information to explain this fully. Perhaps Osama may know.
I have found some links that will help you:

Also, I took this from a book:Who was Dr. Rashad Khalifa, and why was he so controversial?
In 1982, a biochemist by the name of Dr. Rashad Khalifa wrote a book entitled “Quran:
Visual Presentation of the Miracleâ€, in which presented a theory about the Qur’an’s numeric
miracle which, according to him, was entirely and solely based upon the number 19.
Although some of his numbers were correct, it soon appeared that not only were many of
his results inaccurate, but that he even fabricated and manipulated numbers to fit his
calculations and went so far as to claim that he was a messenger of God!
In short, this man based his book on the idea that certain Qur’anic letters and words are
repeated in the Qur’an a number of times that is always a multiple of 19. One of his main
examples is found at the beginning of his book, and is a useful summary of where he went
right and wrong.
According to him, each of the four words making up the Qur’an’s opening verse, the
Basmala, is repeated an exact number of times, and each of these numbers is a multiple of
19.
His own calculations revealed the following results:
1- The first word )بسم(, meaning “In the Name of†originates from the word )اسم(, which
means “nameâ€, and is repeated 19 times in the Qur’an.
2- The second word )هللا(, or “Godâ€, occurs 2698 times in the Qur’an, which is a multiple
of 19 since 2698 = 142 x 19.
3- The third word )الرحمن(, which means “The Most Graciousâ€, is found 57 times, a
multiple of 19, because 57 = 3 x 19.
4- The final word )الرحيم(, or “The Most Mercifulâ€, is repeated 114 times, and 114 is a
multiple of 19 since 114 = 6 x 19.
After a significant amount of time and research (and manual counting!) I concluded that
these results were mostly incorrect. These were my findings:
1- The first word in its various forms3
occurs 22 times and not 19 times as he claims.
Strangely, although he does point out that this word has a precise spelling in the
3
)بسم( and )باسم(, which both mean “In the Name ofâ€, as well as )اسم(, which means “name†and)االسم(, which
means “the nameâ€.
2- The word )هللا(, meaning “Godâ€, is repeated 2699 times across the Qur’an, not 2698
times, and it is quite peculiar how he was only one word short of the right number!
The number 2699 is in fact a prime number; that is, it is only divisible by itself and 1,
and in this, perhaps, is an interesting reference to the uniqueness and Oneness of
God Almighty.
3- The third word in the Basmala is )الرحمن(, or “The Most Graciousâ€, and according to
him, it occurs 57 times in the Qur’an. This number is absolutely correct.
4- Finally, he claims that last word, )الرحيم(, meaning “The Most Mercifulâ€, occurs 114
times in its various forms4
. It is in fact repeated 115 times5
. The additional mention
of this word which he doesn’t count is towards the end of Surat al-Taubah, where
God Almighty states:
