Miracle

I had given you a very good article, which clearly exhibits how people refer to pain in the history. They thought that sense of pain only depends on the brain or heart. However, recent researches show that it is in fact the skin, which contain pain receptors without which a person would not be able to feel pain. Therefore, the previous thought that brain or heart is responsible for pain turned out to be false.

For example, many doctors determine degree of burn by a pinprick. If the patient feels pain, it indicates that the burns are superficial and the pain receptors are intact. However, if the patient does not feel any pain that pinprick supposed to cause, it indicates that it is a deep burn and the pain receptors have been destroyed.

Now link this example with the verse of Quran:

“Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.”
An Nisaa (4)
-Verse 56-

This verse gives clear indication that roasted skin is a dead skin (no pain receptors) for that reason God will give fresh skin to the transgressor to continue his/her punishment.

Compare the article with this verse and contemplate whether the author of this verse was a man living in 7th century or not.

Well first of all the brain is responsible for the sensation of pain along with the skin, the skin senses the pain, it transmits signals to the spinal cord and then into the brain.
 
look at the list of info given in the quran about skin and burning.

1) Burning hurts.
2) burning destroys skin to the point where it no longer feels pain.

So for the first one, yes I think a person living in the 7th century knew that burning hurt.
And for the second one, well people still suffered from 3rd and 4th degree burns in the 7th century, so all they would have to know are the symptoms of 3rd and 4th degree burns.

And I'm actually giving the quran the benefit of the doubt that it is talking about the skin feeling no pain once it has suffered 3rd or 4th degree burns.  It actually might just be talking about the skin being roasted then being replaced before the person dies of the 4th degree burns they are suffering.
