A fair view!
I think the author of the Quran knew every living thing, which I guess in his time were animals and plants, required water to survive, so he made the verse about it. It's possible he deducted every living thing therefore contains water. Nothing miraculous in my opinion. He could have also thought every living thing was made from water, which is wrong.
Why is it that every miraculous verse has to be so ambiguous? If it said living beings contain water, lots of it, i'd probably be impressed. I don't mean to harm your religious felings, I think it's great you have reasons to believe, I just don't think the verse should be portryed as scientific.
