Anyway, it helps to have a look at the various translations of the verse here. Not seeing anything miraculous here. It's part of a story, not a scientific finding.

This verse and many other agree with modern science, there is no point in bickering about this fact. A skeptic can of course bring other interpretations/translations and claim there is no miracle, but this is clearly disingenuous.

That depends on what you mean by "agree with modern science". The verse is certainly not backed by modern cosmological science, as modern science doesn't support the idea of creation.
