I don't think that the text of the Quran is confusing; but I think that many Muslims simply did not like the meaning and each attempted to twist the text via changing the semantics of the whole text by the introduction of the "Hadith".
The "Hadith" is the tool that allows Muslim scholars to interpret the semantics of the Quran -which language rules and Arabic grammar dictates- into what they see fit to serve a political or an economical agenda.
But it's quantity would never be enough to form the oceans.
To become a planet full of water, earth had to take a "a very strong push" from asteroids and comets full of ice.
No one is denying that the water (the majority of it, at least) came from space. The issue is whether the Quran got it right. It's kind of telling that Islamic scholars have never brought up the origin of water on Earth until after scientists sussed it out.
But let's suppose that, a few years or decades from now, the asteroid/cometary sources of water is found to have been wrong. A new theory posits that water was produced on Earth by exclusively terrestrial processes. Will you admit that the Quran got it wrong?
Boru
How could a Bedwin man like Mohammed -peace be upon him- say such thing? Islamic scholars didn't even think about the source of water because as I said in the OP:

Humans as far as we know took water for granted as a product of earth itself.
The scientific discoveries went in parallel with the verses I quoted in the OP; and it's not a strike of luck: the literal verses mean exactly what I said.
You can't take an ancient text and expect it to go in parallel with something accurate like the scientific theories. You might get it right in one, two, hundred of verses. But eventually a verse will break the parallel line. We saw this with the Roman bible, we saw it again and again in other holy books.
But the Quran never breaks that parallel line. It only breaks it with wrong assumptions and wrong scientific theories.

I can say that reality is truly random which will make determinism partially true, and ai may be proven right at some point in the future but that doesn't mean anything, it is just a wild a guess based on speculation.
On a side note, depending on your definition of "came from space" everything on earth came from space, even earth itself.
No no no; you read it yourself -without Hadith- and see.

You mean like the pre-industrial age book you cling to?
The Quran broke the pre-industial age myths about the origin of water on this planet and said it as the verses in the OP said.
