The Quran says: "We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)... (Quran, 23:12-14).
On this verse, Professor Emeritus Keith L. Moore, one of the world’s most prominent scientists in the fields of anatomy and embryology and author of the book entitled “The Developing Human”, said "“It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God.”

Dr. Maurice Bucaille, French Physician, after studying Quran and comparing it with modern science, addressed the French Academy of Medicine in 1976 proclaimed: "Our knowledge of these disciplines is such, that it is impossible to explain how a text produced at the time of the Quran could have contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times".
Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, proclaims: "...These Hadiths (sayings of Muhammad) could not have been obtained on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available at the time of the writer (7th century)...It follows that not only is there no conflict between genetics and religion (Islam) but in fact religion (Islam) may guide science by adding revelation to some of the traditional scientific approaches... There exist statements in the Quran shown centuries later to be valid which support knowledge in the Quran having been derived from God".

Dr. Tejatet Tejasen, Professor of Anatomy, attending the Eighth Saudi Medical Conference, stood up and likewise announced: "From my studies and what I have learnt at this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Quran 1400 years ago must be true. That can be proved the scientific way".
These men of knowledge, in their unbiased studies of Quran, all proclaimed its truthfulness as a Revelation of Almighty God.
"Soon we will show them Our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth) and in their own soul, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth..." (41:53)

FYI, Dr. Moore has since modified his stance regarding this issue. In his latest 6th edition textbook "The developing human", he directs his readers to read an essay by Basim Musallam, who shows that the Koran echoes what Greek doctor "Galen" wrote 450 years earlier. In other words, the stunning information was basically copied from from Galen's writings. And if they did not find it out from Galen, then they could have discovered it themselves since Galen did those experiments over 400 years before the Koran was written.

This arise a question in my mind as to what is the special literary or lingual importance of the book compared to other books of this series like bible, quran, gita, granth sahib, communist manifesto, Tolstoy stories, Iliad or Odyssey, and the world literature. Is there two horns on the head of Quran, Quran is a book depicting the Arabia and its life-style. Those who stay in other countries like to destroy those countries instead of encouraging anything for Arabia. How many of those who read Quran is proud of their birth-place - whether is it Mianmar or China or New York or Nigeria. - Human tendency if bonded with ignorant mis-beliefs would lead to the destruction to where they are staying and their body is in one place and interests are in another place. Powerful presentations are there not only from bro Yunus, jazakAllahkher but also Omatr Khaiyyam also

The quran didn't plagiarize and was not taken from Galen. Look into it before u discredit the quran. What Galen uncovered isn't the same as what the Quran has

What you have is a professor, who converted to Islam, massaging medical terms to fit into his religion.

Why are you here? To force your beliefs on us or to reinforce the words of one scientist I never heard of?
You will convince no-one, especially here.

I don't understand, what knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later? I don't think I am an extract of clay....
