[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In his article, Keith Moore writes: "It is reasonable to interpret the three veils of darkness mentioned in the Koran as: (a) the mother’s abdominal wall (figure 3); (b) the wall of the uterus; and (c) the amniochorionic membrane composed of the fused amnion and chorion. These three anatomical layers protect the embryo from external injury."

So he seemed to think the Quran, if not the hadith, was on point at least in knowing the three stages of fetal development.

The fact that the baby was surrounded by three veils of darkness, i.e. three layers, can be easily ascertained by unassisted observation, which has been practiced in Rome and by Cleopatra way before Islam, where C-section was pioneered, and where Cleopatra sometimes cut up pregnant women for fun.  Arabs were familiar with Greek physician writing so there was nothing revolutionary in what is written in this verse.

Can you provide evidence of Greek physician writing or C sections in Rome before the 7th century, please?[/quote]

Cesarean section has been part of human culture since ancient times and there are tales in both Western and non-Western cultures of this procedure resulting in live mothers and offspring. According to Greek mythology Apollo removed Asclepius, founder of the famous cult of religious medicine, from his mother's abdomen. Numerous references to cesarean section appear in ancient Hindu, Egyptian, Grecian, Roman, and other European folklore. Ancient Chinese etchings depict the procedure on apparently living women. The Mischnagoth and Talmud prohibited primogeniture when twins were born by cesarean section and waived the purification rituals for women delivered by surgery.[/quote]

But the only reason to discuss Cesarean section would be to prove that people knew about fetal development before the Quran did. There's no mention that Romans, Greeks, Chinese, etc.. knew about the stages of fetal development or anything else about fetal development. It only states c-sections were used to save the child when it was determined the mother was dying.[/quote]
