I have no problem with Muslims believing that the Quran is authored by God but surely its proof cannot be that it contains facts known only to modern science. Many of the modern scientific discoveries were known to the ancient world also.
You don't get it do you.
1. "some scientific truths are mentioned in the quran" - The quran is not a book of Science, its a GUIDANCE for mankind, there are scientific mentions, yet NONE of them are incorrect.
2. This is a religion that has easily survived 1400 years and today is the fastest growing in the world, including many intelligent Scientists/Doctors etc. reverting. Surely, the Prophet(pbuh) wouldn't bother mentioning anything he has no evidence off, with the high chance of it being proven incorect/debunked in the future. In a Hadith he talks about "opinion and fact" very distinctively.
3. People "believed things" before it was proven by Science, yet they themselves had NO PROOF they were right. They didn't have the technology we have today to prove what "they believed in", some of what they believed was proven, others was rediculously debunked, this is the same with the Quran, yet there's no mistake in any of the revealings.
4. No where in the Quran does it say "maybe this is how it...", "we think the Mountains might have pegs"... No, it's straight forward statements saying this is how it is. This is a book from God, this is what God is saying, find one error and the religion/belief colapses.
Once again, I urge you to do your research before being so clearly misunderstood. Your being very close minded and aren't even paying attention in which the manner of the revealings occured.
