I want to add again that Quran is not human made, because:
The texts itself contains science facts that impossible people from that era to know.
Examples (All of these examples I quoted from “13 Scientific Facts from Holy Quran”, themuslimvibe.com)

a. “Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, and We separated them” (Quran, Al Anbiya’ 21:30)
This is the big bang theory.
b. “The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it” (Quran, Al Anbiya’ 21:104).
This fits in with the theory of Big Crunch which talks about how the universe will be pulled back into the black holes and again form a tiny mass.
c. We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)…” (Quran, Al Mu’minun 23:12-14).
This is embryology.
d. “And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away” (Quran, Al Anbiya’ 21:32).
It is a scientific fact that the sky, with all of its gasses, protects the earth and life that is present on it from the harmful rays of the sun. If there was no protective layer, life on earth would cease to exist as the temperature on earth would be freezing at -270.556°C, the same as the temperature in space.
e. “We sent down Iron with its great inherent strength and its many benefits for humankind” (Quran, Al Hadid 57:25)
Iron is not natural to the earth. Scientists state that billions of years ago, the earth was struck by meteorites. It was within these meteorites that iron was present and due to explosion on earth, we now have iron available to us. The Quran, as stated above, has already enlightened us of this fact by stating “We sent down iron with its great inherent strength…”.
f. “He released the two seas, meeting [side by side], Between them is a barrier [so] neither of them transgresses” (Quran, Ar Rahman 55:19-20)
Science has discovered that in places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier that divides them which helps both the seas maintain their own temperature, salinity, as well as density.
g. “And it is He who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming” (Quran, Al Anbiya’ 21:33)
Although it was only a widespread belief in the 20th century amongst the astronomers, today it is a well-established fact that the Sun, the Moon, and all the other bodies in the Universe are moving in an orbit and constantly moving, not stationary as commonly thought before.
h. “Have We not made the earth a resting place? And the mountains as stakes?” (Quran, Al Qiyamah 78:6-7)
In a book by geophysicist Frank Press called ‘Earth’ (1986), he explains how the mountains are like stakes and are buried deep within the earth’s surface. Mt. Everest which has a height of approximately 9 km above sea level has a root deeper than 125 km – thus only reinforcing the Quranic revelation of the importance and strength of mountains on our earth.
i. “And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander” (Quran, Adh Dhariyat 51:47)
According to the prominent physicist Stephen Hawking in his book ‘A Brief History of Time’, “The discovery that the universe is expanding was one of the great intellectual revolutions of the 20th century”, although centuries before the Quran had already revealed to us that in regards to the universe, “We are its expander”.
j. “We shall send those who reject our revelations to the (hell) fire. When their skins have been burned away, We shall replace them with new ones so that they may continue to feel the pain: God is almighty, all-wise” (Quran, An Nisa 4:56)
For a long time it was thought that the sense of feeling and pain was dependent on the brain. However, it has been discovered that there are pain receptors present in the skin. Without these pain receptors, a person would not be able to feel pain – another example of the scientific miracles of the Holy Quran.
k. “Or [they are] like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, upon which are waves, over which are clouds – darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand [therein], he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allah has not granted light – for him there is no light” (Quran, An Nur 24:40)
Incredibly, oceanographers have stated that unlike the belief that waves only occur on the surface, there are waves that take place internally in the oceans, below the surface of the water. Invisible to the human eye, these can only be detected through special equipment.
l. “No indeed! if he does not stop, We will seize him by the forehead, his lying, sinful forehead” (Quran, Al Alaq 96:15-16)
According to a book titled ‘Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology,’ it is clearly stated that the forehead or frontal area of the brain is responsible for motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements. All this takes place in the prefrontal area of the brain. The part of the brain that is responsible for movement and planning is said to be seized if he does not stop. Other studies have proved that it is this prefrontal region that is responsible for the function of lying.
