Here's a few problematic verses for you (all Translations by Arberry)
7:80-1 "And Lot, when he said to his people, 'What, do you commit such indecency as never any being in all the world committed before you? See, you approach men lustfully instead of women; no, you are a people that do exceed.'" Problem: Well, many animals, particularly mammals, commit homosexual acts, so it can hardly be said that Lot's audience was doing anything innovative.
16:68-9 "And thy Lord revealed unto the bees, saying: 'Take unto yourselves, of the mountains, houses, and of the trees, and of what they are building. Then eat of all manner of fruit, and follow the ways of your Lord easy to go upon.' Then comes there forth out of their bellies a drink of diverse hues wherein is healing for men. Surely in that is a sign for a people who reflect." Problem: Bees don't eat fruit. They eat nectar and pollen. A monkey knows this, but apparently, your great mechanic did not.
24:43 "'hast thou not seen how God drives the clouds, then composes them, then converts them into a mass, then thou seest the rain issuing out of the midst of them? And He sends down out of heaven mountains, wherein is hail, so that He smites whom He will with it, and turns it aside from whom He will; wellnigh the gleam of His lightning snatches away the sight." Problem: Hail coming from mountains? Do I really have to explain why that's wrong?
86:5-7 "So let man consider of what he was created; he was created of gushing water issuing between the loins and the breast-bones." Problem: so, man is created just by semen, without enough help from a woman's fertilized egg to be mentioned in what is supposed to be an instruction manual for life that contains hidden information and is correct in every detail, and comes not from the testicles, but from a vaguely-defined area between the groin and sternum...
To be fair, when testes develop, they do seem to do so in an area like that, but if they're still in that area, they're not going to be able to reproduce.
And that's just the most blatant research failures I can find from the Qu'ran. I decided to not put in the stuff that's just been ripped out of the Bible, or the verses which imply that the world is flat or that the sun circles around the earth (or at least, until it reaches the westernmost point in the world and falls into the mud. )
