-God in the Qur'an talking about lightning coming from hail, and modern science proving that to be true. How can they possibly know this 1400 years ago?

-God on mountains and how they stabilize the Earth from shaking and that they have roots under the ground. How could they also know this 1400 years ago?
THEY GUESSED

Firstly, lightning certainly does NOT come from hail, it comes from unstable nitrogen clouds, they just observed that hail and lightning came from the same place so were the same. This is akin to saying babies and pee come from generally the same place ergo babies come from piss, not true.
furthermore, the embriotic process can be determined through studying miscarried children, not hard.
Finally, mountains serve no purpose in stabilising the earth drom shaking, the emergence of mountains at constructive plate boundaries actually cause tremors. So no, you're wrong.
