How literally should we take the Qur'an ?

Quran, just like Bible, claims that God created the universe in six days. Earth is created on the first day. Four days later, God creates the sun, moon, and stars. And other nonsenses.

Talking about the water part in Quran is very imprecise so it could mean anything. You claim that it means that people are made from water, but humans are made of lots of things, not just water. So it seems it's just your confirmation bias for which you are being arrogant about it by calling other people morons for not believing you.

Indeed, using confirmation bias with arrogance, any creation myth can be "true".

Take an ancient Chinese myth which tells us that everything started in chaos. The universe was like a black egg (a black hole?). A god named Pan Gu, wielding an axe, breaks the egg and the heavens begin to expand. The fleas and lice on Pan Gu's body evolve into humankind.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
