''...The shape of the skeleton determines the general appearance of the embryo in the bones stage during the 7th week; muscles do not develop at the same time but their development follows soon after. The muscles take their positions around the bones throughout the body and therefore Clothe the bones. Thus, the muscles take their well known forms and strcutures... The stage of clothing with muscle occurs during the 8th week..." (Keith L. Moore, Developing Human, 3 . edition, W. B. Saunders Company, 1982, p 364a)

And the ayat:
Quote:
|
Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be God, the best to create!

So the ayat is saying talking about the muscles wrapping over the bones. And the extract from Keith L Moore agrees with this.
The miracle is this:
* The Prophet could not have know that (i.e what was revealed in the ayat with regards to the bones being clothed by flesh). In fact, at the time, no scientist could have validated or made that claim. Thus, any possibility that the Quran contains the information borrowed from any human on the planet is debunked [in this case, atleast]. The only conclusion that one can make, is that the ayat is from God himself [note this is not directed at anyone in particular, just stating a point]
* It was only modern day science that proved this claim. So not only does this ayat contain the exact words of God, but scientists have validated His word.
My apologies for not making this clearer in the very first place - I had not properly digested the information before explaining it.
