Islam believed that the sun revolved around the Earth. It doesn't.

The so-called science in the Quran is unremarkable - vague stuff that really only sounds "scientific" because muslims interpret it that way.

In fact, a far more astonishing scientific prediction was made in Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels." Swift predicted that two moons would be found orbiting Mars at exactly the orbital attitudes and apogee that Phobos and Deimos were found in, centuries later.

Now THAT was remarkable - far more so than any alleged Quran miracle. And yet neither Islam or Christianity suggests "Gulliver's Travels" is the word of God, do they?

For that matter, St. Augustine speculated, centuries before Mohammed, that time was a property of the universe - an insight that 20th century cosmologists confirmed. And yet, he was never a muslim either.

Precocious scientific insights are interesting. But even they don't prove a text is the word of God, even if the Quran did have scientific "miracles" (which it doesn't.)

As to the Quran's alleged literary worth (as per the comment at bottom by *) I'm less than impressed. There are moments of inspiration but translated to a language I know, most of it is repetitive and non-linear, the work of a not particularly good poet. The Psalms and Paul's letters practically soar in comparison to the Sura Mary.... other than the brief section where God says "be"...

Oh... and Salahudeen? Apollo 13 never landed on the moon. It was the one lander mission that didn't.

The other stuff - silliness about how the Quran knew 1400 years ago that people could suffer in high altitudes, and that this somehow is some sort of "miracle" - please - people knew that as long ago as the bronze age. Its really not that remarkable that the Quran might be aware of such a thing.

Many people in the past rejected great prophets like Moses and Jesus son of Mary even though they witnessed unmatched miracles. Today the same what ever you say they will not listen to you because their minds are closed. Sadly they will be asked about this by God in the last day. There is a disorder named (mountain or high altitude disease) which affects people who travel to high altitude areas rapidly or by unpressurized air planes causing severe chest tightness due to accumulation of water in the lung and lack of oxygen, how on earth the Quran mentioned this accurately 1400 years ago in a very seamless way? See verse 6:125. How many such evidences they need so they may be convinced as the Quran is full of such signs.

It sounds like a rhetorical question. I believe the one who created the galaxies and all life was God. And this master designer has infinite knowledge fueling the creation that we have only figured so little about. God has revealed his word to man kind one more time and one last time through an Arabic book. There are so many other miracles in every aspect surrounding the Quran, and one has to only read a passage of Quran to feel that its narrator is not just another man! and of coarse who creates knows what he has created.

the quran knew that the earth was round, the man was born by egg and sperm, the split sea (an area where miraculously salt water and clean water split and dont mix), that the sun revolves around the earth. it also says that sign of the last day is when the moon is dug by man (appolo 13). how much more will we challenge the quran before we finally understand it is the truth!!! accept it!!

Throughout history, scholars from the middle east have bee far in advance of european scholars. For example, before christ they knew that the earth was round and had even calculated the diameter.

All of this knowledge was considered heretical in the middle ages and hidden or destroyed by the church

It is true that the Qu'ran has some truth in it, if not all to the believer. It explains the progress of zygote to fetus, galaxies, and etc.

because science is proving science and god told us that part centuries ago but most people didnot believe it......if u read bible and koran one after another and search it u would find that koran was right about a lot of things specially cosmology and scitific stuff....
