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]
No, in the context you brought up it is important to note C-sections existed because by cutting up the stomach of a pregnant woman, it would be noticed that the fetus is wrapped in several protective layers, which the Quran mentioned. It's not about fetal development. [/quote]

The Quran itself did not explain what it meant by THREE STAGES, VEILED IN DARKNESS. Some criticizers might interpret that verse to refer to the different layers of protection the fetus had. However, since that verse clearly spoke of stages, not layers, it might actually be referring to the three stages of pregnancy (1st, 2nd, 3rd trimester). 
And even if the Quranic verse was referring to the three layers of the protection the fetus had and not the stages of fetal development, wouldn't the Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and all the other groups you mentioned have written about them, illustrated them somewhere? Where is it?[/quote]
I think you said it best that the Quran did not explain what it meant by three stages, nor has it illustrated it.  We simply do not know what it meant, and it can be interpreted any way one wishes.   The trimester sequencing of pregnancy is entirely arbitrary.  It could have been nine or four and a half, or one. That medicine decided to divide it by three is a random thing.

I have cited for you Gallenic experiments on pregnant dogs; presumably, it is written somewhere. I'm sure other people have created written records on what they thought happens inside pregnant bellies.  You don't know that they haven't written about it. What is clearly known is that people have seen the inside of pregnant bellies with fetuses inside.[/quote]
Hippocratic not Gallenic.[/quote]

I have read Hippocrates and Galens notes and they are published for all to see. Galen said pregnancy was in four stages, the Quran correctly said it was three. SO-- Even though they were cutting open pregnant bellies, they still got the stages of pregnancy wrong and never made mention of the three layers of protection around a fetus. [/quote]
