Again, and? some are willing to believe they are a descendent of apes, but not the descendent of very tall persons.. which would make one a hypocrite at best in my opinion!

Not at all. Descencion from apes is theoretically possible, descencion from 90-footers is not, because 90-footers themselves are impossible.

People will see what they want, but It doesn't touch written text.. if Galen wrote that the human zygote comes from a mixture of two sperms, it doesn't even make him remotely close to being correct even if the lot of you wish to push that down our throat.. in suret Al'qyema when the sex of the fetus is characterized and delimited to sperm alone in the centuries old book and unparalleled to any other at its time and in the region from whence it came, it is considered not only very correct, but very miraculous.. if you don't want to see it, well there is nothing anyone can do about it, religious or not!

I don't remember ever using Galen to counter the Quran.
37. Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
38. Then did he become a clinging clot;
Then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
39. And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
40. Has not he, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
Are you refering to this?
Why exactly do you think the verse implies male gametes are the ones that determine the gender of a child?
Is this a way to account for the lack of mention of female gametes?

That is a sweeping generalization and not very telling, in which one is simply left in a pool of nonesense as if to justify to oneself ones errors...
One can't really tackle 'every' , it is very non-specific and non-descript, as to leave ample room for escape...
You don't want to accept, because that is something in your person, not because of a flaw in Islam!

You're right, it is a generalisation, but some things are true in general. Very few religious people will admit to the mistakes suppossedly found in their holy book, let it be the Quran or the Bible or the Bahai texts and will always find a way to refute alleged flaws. Christians, whose religion I suspect you deem false, have refuted practically every alleged mistake and contradiction (except for the creationism, but I don't think you mind that..). Of course, not all people buy it, I guess you don't and neither do I. I for one won't buy other religion's aplogetics either.
It's possible one of the religions I mentioned is in fact flawless and I'm doing it harm by generalizing, but I seriously doubt it.
I don't know. Like every other person I am defending my beliefs.
