I mean, hey, we all know magic book got things right, but if it looks like it didn't get things right, then obviously we just need to better understand the hidden message..and if we did better understand the hidden message, we would see that it also got things factually right - and we were wrong about it not being right. That's why we can't believe our own goddamned lying eyes except when magic book says so.
The problem is this: there are "no" hidden messages in the Quran; there are only truths which aren't discovered yet.
For example, take a nomadic Arab from 1000 years ago, this verse would mean nothing to them:
Quote:Sura 21, The Quran:
https://quran.com/21?startingVerse=30
Are the disbelievers not aware that the heavens and the earth used to be joined together and that We ripped them apart, that We made every living thing from water? Will they not believe?
— Abdul Haleem
But to a modern human from nowadays, it will point directly to the Big Bang Theory. it will point directly to what we call "the explosion/ripping of singularity that gave birth to the universe".
No hidden truths; but "not discovered yet truths".
