[quote=Anonymous]But there's more in Keith Moore's article. He thought the Quran accurately identified the stage from 7 - 24 days also. He goes on to say:

"Another verse in the Koran (figure 4) refers to the early stages of human embryonic development.These verses from the Koran (23:13-14 )states that God made you from a drop and then changed the drop into a leech-like structure which soon changed into a chewed-like substance that took the shape of bones and was clothed with flesh."

He is referring to these verses from Quran Sura 23 verse 13-14.

He writes, "These verses from the Koran (23:13-14) states that God made you from a drop and then changed the drop into a leech-like structure which soon changed into a chewed-like substance that took the shape of bones and was clothed with flesh."

The word "alaqah" in the verse refers to a leech or bloodsucker. This is an appropriate description of the human embryo from days 7-24 when it clings to the endometrium of the uterus, in the same way that a leech clings to the skin. Just as the leech derives blood from the host, the human embryo derives blood from the decidua or pregnant endometrium. It is remarkable how much the embryo of 23-24 days resembles a leech

Moore includes in his article pictures of a leech and what the fetus looks like at the stage described. They are very similar.

Refer to his entire article to see the figures and pictures he uses: http://islampapers.com/2014/02/01/highlights-of-human-embryology-in-the-koran-and-hadith/

He then concludes: "Observe how much the embryo of 24 days (figures 5) looks like a leech (Arabic, alaca, a thing which clings) and that it later appears like a chewed substance (Arabic, mudga, chewed flesh) after most of the somites form during the fourth week (figure 6)."
