That's like saying, "you're right but I'll convince you later" and completely ignore these facts that are so flagrantly unscientific.
Also the quran endorses flat earth:
"And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out)" quran surah 71:19
"And He it is Who has outstretched the earth, and placed on it tthe firm mountains" quran surah 13:3
"He who has made for you the earth like a carpet has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels) and has sent down water from the sky. With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate" quran surah 20:5
"By the heaven and That which built it and by the earth and That which extended it" quran surah 91:5-6
So the earth according to quran is a flat pancake in a three storey universe.
But this was 600 AD. It was the dark middle ages, they had no clue at all about the findings of modern science. If there really was science than there would have been the brilliant symmetrical principles of nature like that of relativity. They're totally absent. So don't stretch your luck with dubious interpretation of vague sentences scribbled on all kinds of material by various followers deleted from historical reference that are said to reference to scientific facts only after science has stated them.

- That first there was an earth without iron and later the iron was added. That is not scientific fact, it opposes any serious scientific theory on earth formation.
- That an up down perspective is relevant to earth formation. The only relevant sense of direction is that of
the plain of rotation of the solar system when it formed.
Also you seem to add in the disclaimer that they didn't know how to write it down because they had no reference from experience. Of course that is true, but with that you are seriously discrediting the divine inspiration clause that believers use all the time to "ensure" circular reasoning. I've studied astronomy and I cannot be clear enough about it: there is no astronomy in the quran!

"6-When do people start changing the religious books:
1-when it does not contain their claims or doctorines"
This just says it all. The quran is mallaeable to doctrines of man not the word of god.
