Nobody does. OP is being non sensical as usual.

Ibn Taymiyyah reported a scholarly consensus (ijma') on the Earth being round. In other words, all major Muslim scholars of his era understood from the Qur'an and the prophet's sayings that the Earth is indeed round. Ibn Hazm also reported this consensus.
Looks like you don't know what you're talking about.

Miracles are by definition an interruption of the laws of physics. Muslims believe God split the moon and reassembled it just like any other theist who believes in miracles.
How much one knows about space is irrelevant, whatever physical law that governs space can be interrupted by God anyway.

Muslims are just people who are determined by their socioeconomic status and their education as any other human being. Few Muslims winning a Nobel Prize is better explained by the quality of their educational systems in Muslim countries and how serious they are about funding research, etc. This has absolutely nothing to do with ther beliefs.
How can you guarantee that all other things are equal to make such statements on the sole basis of religion.. how many other factors were neglected ..?
No scholar from Mozambique ever won a Nobel prize. It must be because of christianity, it must be..!
