The purpose of Quran is to give warnings to unbelievers who transgress the natural limits by intention and encourage the believers who live unpretentious life for the pleasure of God.
Quran is not a book of Science. By giving scientific facts, Quran manifest that it is not a work of human. Quran is not determine to give education of science, history, philosophy, literature, etc. It shows ways how to live a moral life.

But the facts it gives are debatable and only appear to refer to natural phenomena if you interpret them correctly, whereas the germ theory would have been a much stronger evidence for the quran's divinity. And something 7th century Arabs could've used.
