It certainly wouldn't have been hard for someone to write a book which mentions the moon 27 times and it was known at the time that the moon takes 27 (and a bit) days to orbit the earth at the time, the Islamic calendar is lunar afterall. This isn't a miracle IMO, its clutching at straws. If it had told us something like the exact speed of light 1600 years before it was verified you might've been onto something but these sort of miracles are laughable really.Yes I know it doesn't carry any weight. Nor it was ever told to anyone that it might contain such patterns.
And it wasn't know at that time. Simple observations from earth make it seem like 29 days BTW.
Lol tbh there are articles of speed of light in the Quran. I didn't check them, but if u do tell me what are they like.
All of the alleged 'science' in the qur'an isn't there. There are only tortured interpretations of verses be apologists.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
