[quote=Anonymous]Keith Moore then goes on to say the Quran also identified another important aspect about embryology, the mixing of sperm and ovum. He states," This verse from the Koran (Quran Sura76:2) states that a human being is created from a mixed drop."

He goes on to say, "A popular idea in the 17th century among scientists was that the sperm contained a miniature human being that simply enlarged inside the sperm. Another equally strong idea was that the ovum contained a miniature human being that was stimulated to growth by the semen. It was not until the 18th century that Spallanzani showed experimentally that both male and female sex products were necessary for the initiation of development. From his experiments, including artificial insemination in dogs, he concluded that the sperm was the fertilizing agent. It is difficult not to interpret the mixed drop mentioned in the Koran in the 7th century as a reference to the mingling of the male and female sex cells described eleven centuries later."

So how could the Quran have known this  in the 7th century??
