Until a certain discovery is made the verse has a myriad of different meanings, then, after a discovery is made it is only then people can look at a piece of text and say. Ah! That's what it means.
How can you say that the verses are vague and ambiguous which can be interpreted in certain way? According to Dr Keith Moore (professor in the field of anatomy and cell biology) describes the embryological stage (which was discovered not long ago) to exactly match what is said in the Quran.

Maybe you require well educated people in the field of the different scientific areas mentioned in Quran to tell you that what is mentioned in the Quran matches with well established facts.
Quote:People claim exactly the same for all of Nostradamus's quatrains.
Surely you can see that?
Secondly Nostradamus had many prophecies which did not come true (like to world ending in the year 2000) so you cannot bring him into context as all the scientific facts in the Quran had be proven to be true.
