[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a whole industry dedicated to proving that the Quran has predicted all modern science and contains all sorts of scientific statements that centuries later, proved to be true.  When you look at them closer, these statements are invariably incredibly vague and either meaningless, or a simple reflection of common sense. I remember reading one site that argued that the Quran correctly described the fetal development in humans based on this gem:

"God created man from sperm".

Or "God creates you inside the bodies of your mothers."

Or "We caused who we will to rest in the womb for the appointed term.

I was like, ummmmm, isn't all of that blindingly obvious, even to a 7th-century Arab? That sperm is required for procreation? That babies grow inside their mother's stomach?

But no wonder. Saudi Arabia has a very well financed program for scientists and physicians who convert that covers book deals, symposia etc.  When you look closer at what they say, there is no other explanation than they do it for the money. [/quote]

Not to mention that the bits going on and on about creating man from sperm miss a rather obvious part: the egg.[/quote]
