The Quran - A Miracle

[ThatMuslimGuy2]

We've been through this in another thread.
Or maybe it was another site altogether.... maybe TTA.

But anyway, it's funny that these "scientific" discoveries from the Quran weren't realized until after science discovered them.

In other words, no one knew that the Quran was making these predictions until we already knew these things. Where are the people who learned these things prior to modern science?

Even if the Quran was stating these things ahead of modern times, either all the people up until today were too stupid to realize was the book was saying, or it was worded in a way that was so obscure and vague that there was no way to really know what it meant.
Either way, it makes the predictive power of the Quran completely useless.

Case in point:
In the 30s or 20s, I forgot which, they predicted that we would find background microwave radiation in the universe.
At that time they had no way of testing it. It was a very specific prediction, nothing vague or obtuse about it, it was made as an absolute statement.
Fast forward to the 90s and 00s and we have tons of junk up in space looking at the deep reaches of the universe. Guess what we've found..... background microwave radiation.
That's how a prediction works. Seeing a prediction in hindsight, a post-diction, is useless since you know already know it and it had no power to impart any new information prior to that information already being know.

From the 7th century to 21st century the Quran has stated the Universe is expanding. People understood this always. Scholars in tafsirs from the 8th to 21st century talk about it meaning expanding.
