There are three verses in the Quran, which are verses 5, 6 & 7 from Surat Al Tarek [86]. In those three verses god is challenging people asking them to look how they were created, and god says that they were created from dripping water (semen). In verse 7 god says that this semen comes from the backbone (of the man) and the ribs (of the woman) and this is how a baby is created.
I am a little confused because I realize that the Quran had some scientific confusion in those verses as follows:
(1) It assumes that the man's semen comes from his back, which was the common belief at the time.
(2) It also assumes that the woman's ejaculate fluid comes from her chest, which was also a common belief at the time.
(3) It finally assumes that the pregnancy is the result of mixing man's semen with woman ejaculate fluid.
Does anyone know if there is any other way to understand those confusing verses?
