The word you're looking for is "shoehorning".
It's a turn of phrase that describes someone stretching a set of given circumstances as far as possible to justify a claim. These snippets from the Qur'an are taken out of context and scientific synonyms are squeezed out of them.
The same nonsense has been done with the Bible and has been equally wrong.

Not exaggerations...fact. Did you know the modern university system and most of modern mathematics come from Muslims? Indeed the "crusades" transferred more knowledge to the west than anything. It was what brought the christian world out of the dark ages.

i think muslims are just as delusional as the christians following a book of fairytales and yes i have also been told my a muslim that science can prove the quran to be true but that is just like saying the bible is true so its not even worth my time to even consider any religion that believes its ok to rape kill and enslave others. for me i will stick with the facts that are at hand

Islam can take credit for preserving much of the scientific knowledge of the Greeks, and for contributions to mathematics and science.
Of course, this was all 1,000 years ago....what have they done lately?

Yes. Many of the claims are comically rediculous. I've seen Christians do the same sort of thing with the Bible, and other do the same thing with the writing of Nostradamus, etc.

Scientific verses in holy books are vague and intelligent suggestions than can be interpreted to mean anything..
